Crawfish Queso Dip

This dip can be defined as a dip that will celebrate if your football team wins the game, and will comfort if they lose.

And before you say, well, that’s all fine and dandy but crawfish isn’t readily available in my area, don’t fret. It’s just as delicious with shrimp or crab, too!

In fact, if you’re feeling extra daring, add all three and call it a Seafood Queso Dip! It will get a little pricey, but oh boy, will it be the hit of any party.

The Crawfish Queso Dip is best-served piping hot right out the oven so if you were pouting that you didn’t score tickets to the game, this will warm your fear of missing out heart.

Want to bring it tailgating? Just wrap the top in aluminum foil and pop it on the grill to reheat.
