Crab Guacamole
Crab Guacamole is a fun twist on the classic creamy dip! Fresh avocado pair perfectly with the sweet, succulent taste of lump crab meat, creating a dish that's both rich and refreshing.
Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 Ears Corn, (you can also use about 1 cup of frozen corn)
- 1 tbsp Salted Butter, (melted)
- 1 cup Jumbo Lump Crab Meat
- 1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 tsp Lime Zest
- 3 Avocados, (skin and pits removed)
- 1/4 Red Onion, (diced)
- 2 Jalapenos, (diced)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tbsps Lime Juice
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
Instructions
- Place corn onto a skillet over medium heat and cook until the outside becomes slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly. Then use a knife to shave the corn off of the cob. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, add melted butter, crab meat, old bay and lime zest and toss together. Set aside.
- Slice avocados in half and remove the pit and skin. Scoop out the avocados into a mixing bowl.
- Mash with a fork until desired consistency is reached. (You can also use a potato masher if you want it smooth and creamy)
- Add in red onion, jalapenos, corn, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, kosher salt, and half of the crab meat. Stir to combine.
- Add to a serving container and top with remaining crab meat. Garnish with your favorite toppings and serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
Recipe Tips
- Add in some seasonings! My recommendation is either chili powder for smoky flavor or garlic powder for an added punch of freshness!
- If you like tomatoes in your guac, feel free to add them in. I recommend using roma tomatoes because they're not as juicy (no one wants soupy guac!)
- Choose avocados that are already ripe if you're making this the same day. If you're gonna wait a few days, I'd choose the less ripe, firmer ones.
- Add some sour cream if you like a super creamy guacamole! Start with a tablespoon and increase from there according to your preference.
