Notes

If you're needing ideas on what to serve with this dip check out our What to Serve with Gumbo for a list of our favorite sides.

Keep your seafood dip refrigerated until needed.
While making your seafood dip, periodically taste it to adjust the seasoning and flavor as you go until you are happy with the taste. Remember it is easier to increase the saltiness and spiciness of a dish rather than toning it down if overdone.
Serve this dip while it is cool but not right out of the refrigerator. If this dip is too cold the chips always break while scooping so grab sturdy dippers or leave dip on counter for about 20 minutes before serving.
