Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a small skillet over medium heat, warm up the canola oil.
Add the shallots, garlic, and jalapeño peppers. Cook until the shallots soften and the garlic just begins to brown, or 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add the following to the mixing bowl: cream cheese, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, crab meat, Cooper® cheese, green onions, and half of the cilantro. Combine.
Transfer mix into a small oven-proof baking dish. Place the dish in the oven on the middle shelf and bake for 20 minutes, or until slightly brown.
Remove the crab dip from the oven, then sprinkle the remaining cilantro over the top.
Serve with water crackers, a nice baguette, pretzel bread, or whatever you prefer.
