Ingredients

  • Olive oil spray
  • ½ cup scallions (finely chopped)
  • ½ cup bell pepper (finely chopped)
  • 2 cups corn kernels
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tsp old bay
  • 16 oz lump crab meat (see notes below)
  • ¼ cup light Mayo
  • ½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ cup butter crackers ( or gluten-free breadcrumbs, crushed for topping)
  • crudites ( and/or butter crackers, for serving)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. Spray a skillet with olive oil spray and cook the scallions on medium heat until aromatic, 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the bell peppers and cook until they soften, 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add corn, 1/4 teaspoon of salt & turn the heat to high; caramelize, 4-5 minutes, only stirring a few times.  Add Old Bay spice and remove from heat. Allow to cool.
  5. In a large bowl, combine canned crab, light mayo, Greek yogurt, lemon juice & chilled corn. Gently mix & transfer to an oven safe baking dish about 8 x 8, a medium size baking dish or small round pie dish. Top with crushed crackers or panko. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden & bubbly.
  6. Serve with crudites and crackers.

Notes

  •       • Fresh or frozen corn works best, skip canned– it will be too wet.      • Lump or claw crab meat preferred for this recipe.
