I made your best ever clam dip. It was delicious. My question is I had leftovers the next day. The dip was hard as a rock. What can I put in it to soften it up?
All you need to do it reheat the dip, it will soften.
not a fan of clams or crab.. could you use diced of cooked shrimp?
Looks delicious! Did you double the recipe in your picture above? Trying to figure out if I should or not.
