HOT CRAB AND CORN DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the corn and jalapeno; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the sherry and cook, stirring, until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the corn mixture to a large bowl and add the crabmeat. Stir in the monterey jack, sour cream and 1/2 cup crushed crackers. Transfer to a 1-quart baking dish.
• Combine the remaining 1/2 cup crushed crackers with the cheddar, chives and Old Bay in a medium bowl. Work the remaining 1 tablespoon butter into the crumb mixture with your fingers until combined. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the crab mixture. Bake until golden brown and heated through, about 20 minutes.
• Serve with butter crackers or sliced baguette.

CRAB AND CREAM CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Place 1/2 the crabmeat in the bowl of a food processor. Add 1/3 of the cream cheese, hot sauce, Worcestershire, horseradish, mustard, 2/3 of the green onions, salt, and pepper. Puree, running the processor for about 15 seconds. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula, add 1/2 the remaining cream cheese, and puree until well blended, about 15 seconds. Stop and scrape the bowl again, add the remaining cream cheese, and process until well incorporated. Adjust seasoning. Fold in the remaining onions and crabmeat and serve as a dip. Or, to make canapes, reserve the remaining crabmeat, place the puree in a pastry bag, and pipe it onto crackers or toast points. Season the reserved crabmeat, and garnish the canapes with the crabmeat and the remaining green onions.
