  Irish's Crab Butter
  Category: Dips

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Cream cheese
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
6 oz Crab meat
1 large Onion, chopped fine
Cocktail sauce
2 tbsp Lemon juice
1/2 tsp Garlic, crushed (or a pinch of instant garlic)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions:
Allow butter and cream cheese to soften before starting. Mix mayo,
butter and cream cheese. Do not use a blender, as the mixture will
get soupy. Add lemon juice, garlic, worcestershire sauce, pepper,
etc. to taste.

Mix in crab (or whatever) and onion. Of the choices, I feel crab is
the best. Chill at least two hours, cover with cocktail sauce. This
is an important part of the recipe.

I recommend Wakefield crab meat, Shrimp or Shrimp & Crab. I usually
use Crosse & Blackwell's cocktail sauce, but feel free to use any
kind that you trust. You can make your own simple cocktail sauce by
mixing 3 parts catsup to 1 part horseradish and adding tabasco,
garlic, worcestershire sauce to taste.

Serve over Triscuits (they're nice and strong, to survive heavy
scooping) or veggies. Irish is the friend from whom I got this recipe.

NOTES:

* Incredible crab or shrimp dip -- My first encounter with this dip
came at a New Year's party a few years ago. I was standing by the
munchies table trying not to embarrass myself too much, when a woman
came up to me and pointed out this dip. She explained to me that at a
previous party she had lost control eating it and got a spoon!

It's incredibly rich, and requires a lot of will power not to eat too
much. Yield: Serves 6 gluttons.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 5 minutes preparation, 2 hours cooling.
: Precision: approximate measurement OK.
