Ingredients

• 8 oz Lump crab meat
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, coconut milk, mayonnaise, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Gently fold in the lump crab meat, shredded coconut, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture into a shallow oven-safe dish or a small cast iron skillet, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the crab dip.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbling at the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
