Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories without sacrificing flavor.

Boil water heavily salted like ocean water.

Add snow crab to the boiling water and cook for 12 to 15 minutes.

Shock the crab in cold water after boiling.

Carefully remove crab meat from the shell, keeping long strands.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth.

Add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper; mix well.

Fold in crab meat, green onions, and red bell pepper gently.

Transfer the mixture to a cast iron pan.

Top with shredded cheddar cheese and more Old Bay seasoning if desired.

Preheat the Offset Smoker to 275°F using Applewood.

Place the cast iron pan in the smoker and smoke until heated through.

Garnish with green onions before serving.
