Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked and shredded crab meat or lobster (or a mix of both)
- 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup diced avocado
- 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup finely chopped red onion
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 ripe lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tortilla chips or sliced baguette for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the seafood: In a bowl, combine the crab or lobster meat with lime juice, a pinch of salt, and chopped cilantro. Set aside.
- Make the creamy base: Mix sour cream with mayonnaise, salt, and pepper until smooth. Spread this evenly over the bottom of a clear glass dish or shallow bowl.
- Layer the seafood: Spread the seafood mixture evenly over the creamy layer.
- Add the avocado: Carefully layer the diced avocado over the seafood layer. Mash slightly if desired.
- Top with fresh veggies and cheese: Sprinkle chopped cherry tomatoes, red onion, and shredded cheese over the avocado layer.
- Finish with herbs: Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
Notes
- Prepare the dip up to 24 hours in advance, adding the avocado layer just before serving to prevent browning.
- For extra flavor, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce between layers.
- Use fresh seafood for the best taste and texture.
