Acoustic Christmas Guitar

Crab is the number one request at our house around the holidays, a special occasion splurge I allow once a year. If you’re looking for a show-stopping appetizer to serve at an upcoming holiday gathering, look no further than this crab artichoke dip.

Artichoke dip is addictive enough on its own, but the addition of crab (hopefully local Alaska crab meat) takes it way over the top to fancy town. Pull this out of the oven, put some toasted bread or crackers alongside it, and watch the crowd gather around and linger until it’s gone. This would be great on New Years Eve with a glass of bubbly.

• ½ cup pepper jack cheese
• 3 green onions thinly sliced
• 1 small lemon zested
