Spicy Crab & Artichoke Dip

This is not a standard artichoke dip, in this recipe you add fresh crab, then spice it up with a little sriracha or tabasco! Try this with pretzel thins, baked lentil chips, baked corn chips – it will taste great with any of them. You can even sprinkle some panko on top before baking.
