Fold in the sautéed crab mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is slightly golden.
