Ingredients

  • 1 pound imitation crab meat chopped (or real lump crab if preferred)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1-2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning to taste
  • 1 celery stalk finely diced
  • 1/2 cup green or red bell pepper finely diced
  • ¼ cup green onion sliced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Shred the crab meat into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until the crab meat is completely covered.
  • For best results, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  • Serve with crackers, in a sandwich, or inside lettuce wraps and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving, as the dressing may separate slightly.
  • Real crab meat can be substituted for imitation crab.
  • I noticed that some Cajun seasonings are spicier than others. Start with 1 teaspoon and add more to reach your desired taste.
