Keto Crab DipKeto Crab DipKeto Crab DipKeto Crab DipKeto Crab Dip. Was lucky enough to get my hands on some raw chicken skins and I was off to the races with this keto crab dip recipe. It’s the first time I have gotten skins in any number and I kinda wanted to pig out with them.  Now of course this can be scooped with any low carb vegetable but the fried chicken skins?…To die for. Keto crab dip by itself is very easy to make and shouldn’t take more than 30-40 minutes or so and most of that time is just letting the veggies, herbs and spices cook.  I used Parmesan cheese as my topping but pork rind dust could just as easily be used too and surprise, I purchased my crab meat at Safeway. Yes, there a few things I get there and crab is only one of them plus, it comes in handy ½ lb. containers.

Notes
  1. DO NOT use imitation crab in this. It is nothing but starchy carbs that hold it together.
  2. Celery sticks make one very good dip stick as do cucumber coins and pepper strips. If all else fails you can use a spoon.
