Crab Appetizer Recipes Can Use Available Crabmeat Wherever You Live

We are so fortunate in Louisiana with all the available fresh seafood.  Our seafood is the best so of course I have incredible crab appetizer recipes!  We have fresh fish, Louisiana crawfish, crabmeat and oysters to create delectable seafood recipes.  If you don’t have fresh crabmeat available, my second choice is the pasteurized crabmeat you find in a can. Of course, you can always use snow crab, king crab or imitation crabmeat for this crab nachos recipe. With the incredible southwestern crab mixture smothered with melted cheese, you will still have the best healthy crab nachos recipe! I have even used crawfish.  And, if you’re looking for healthy Cajun recipes?

For My Easy Nacho Recipes: Sometimes I Use My Cuisinart, Sometimes I Use Graters and Sometimes I Buy Grated Cheese!

Cuisipro Surface Glide Technology 4-Sided Boxed Grater

Whatever works for you is what I recommend! I sometimes go the old fashioned way and pull out my grater. Yes, usually I buy my cheese already shredded and especially the reduced fat versions come that way. Then, I many times turn to my Cuisinart and shred a lot of cheese at one time. However, there are times I think it is just as easy to pull out a grater and do it by hand.

Everyone needs to keep a grater on hand because you will not only use it for cheese.  You will be surprised how often you pull it out but you want a quality grater!  It does make a difference!
