 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2   c            Butter
  1       c            Cream cheese
    1/4   c            Mayonnaise
  6       oz           Crab meat
  1       lg           Onion, chopped fine
                       Cocktail sauce
  2       T            Lemon juice
    1/2   t            Garlic, crushed (or a
                       -pinch of instant garlic)
  1       T            Worcestershire sauce

 Allow butter and cream cheese to soften before starting.  Mix mayo, butter
 and cream cheese. Do not use a blender, as the mixture will get soupy. Add
 lemon juice, garlic, worcestershire sauce, pepper, etc. to taste.

 Mix in crab (or whatever) and onion.  Of the choices, I feel crab is the
 best. Chill at least two hours, cover with cocktail sauce. This is an
 important part of the recipe.

 I recommend Wakefield crab meat, Shrimp or Shrimp & Crab.  I usually use
 Crosse & Blackwell's cocktail sauce, but feel free to use any kind that you
 trust.  You can make your own simple cocktail sauce by mixing 3 parts
 catsup to 1 part horseradish and adding tabasco, garlic, worcestershire
 sauce to taste.

 Serve over Triscuits (they're nice and strong, to survive heavy scooping)
 or veggies. Irish is the friend from whom I got this recipe.

 NOTES:

 *  Incredible crab or shrimp dip -- My first encounter with this dip came
 at a New Year's party a few years ago. I was standing by the munchies table
 trying not to embarrass myself too much, when a woman came up to me and
 pointed out this dip. She explained to me that at a previous party she had
 lost control eating it and got a spoon!

 It's incredibly rich, and requires a lot of will power not to eat too much.
 Yield:  Serves 6 gluttons.

 : Difficulty:  easy.
 : Time:  5 minutes preparation, 2 hours cooling.
 : Precision:  approximate measurement OK.
