- 1-2 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 6 oz can lump crab meat drained

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and grease a 2-cup roasting dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray. (You could also use a small cast iron skillet.)

- Stir in the lump crab meat.
- Transfer the crab dip to the prepared dish or skillet.
- Bake the cajun crab dip for 25 minutes, or until the dip has heated through and the top is a nice golden brown.

Notes
- Use lump crab meat for this recipe, not imitation crab, for a richer taste.
- To serve cold, bake as directed, then store in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Store leftover cajun crab dip in an air-tight container for up to 4 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave, covered, for about 2-3 minutes until hot.
