Curry Crab Dip

This recipe is a quick-to-impress hot appetizer that is full of flavor and easy to prepare. You can use plain curry powder or add an extra punch of flavor by including a teaspoon of lemongrass or saffron. The intensely bright color of this dish matches the bold flavor, but if you’re not a fan of shellfish you can substitute chopped chicken for the crab. Serve it with Fritos, toasted French bread or veggies.
