Recipe ideas with blue crab purée? Found it on sale and everything else was super pricey

Had a hankering for crabs and went to the Albertsons. Good lord crab prices have shot up! Snow crab clusters were almost $20 a LB! Crab claws and lump meat were super expensive too but I found some blue crab purée (hoping it’s all real crab meat.) on sale for $3.99 for 14.5oz. (Half off) Figured I’d give it a shot. I’ve never used it before.
Anyone else have experience/recipes with it? Does it work just like regular crab? Taste?
I got 4 containers, don’t have any particular style in mind. What should I do?

I have zero experience with it. Based on that price, first thing I would have looked for is where was it made and the expiration date.
If it’s legit, maybe you can mix it with cream cheese and stuff some mushroom caps. Or make a cream sauce and use it as a topping for grilled/blackened fish. Keep us posted on the results.

Never used it but I would think maybe under a steak with a finishing sauce.

It’s not expired but I plan to use it soon.
It’s a Louisiana product

Haven't seen or used that before either. I would think anything you want the crab flavor but don't need the lumps of meat would be good. Bisque, sauces, dips maybe. Mix with cream cheese and shredded cheese and use to stuff jalapeños

If I had a hankering for crabs I'd have just paid up for actual crab meat. Crab puree doesn't sound appealing as a substitute to scratch the itch.

I used some crawfish puree to shore up some crawfish gumbo since I didn't have shells to make a stock. It' worked fine. It's basically finely minced crawfish.
Haven't used crabmeat puree. I guess you could use it the way I did for a soup, but with crabmeat. You could probably mix it with some cream cheese/mayo mixture for a dip. I don't know how it would work out as a stuffing without some crabmeat as well.

It sounds like a good short-cut for any crabby soup (crab & andouille, crab bisque, crab & corn, etc.) if you want the flavor without shelling out (ha) for a ton of actual crabmeat, which I would still add a little of.
And it's perfect timing since y'all are getting cooler temps!

Hmm. Mix up a light flavored ravioli filling and put the crab goo in it. Crab ravioli.
Or, you can do some cream cheese and a little bit of crushed pineapple, whip the crab goo into that and stuff some egg wrappers with that to make some crab rangoon.
You could use it to flavor some kind of cream cheese based dip and go to town on that with some Fritos.
Soup.
If it's thick enough, you could probably mix it up with some bread crumbs and finely chopped aromatics until it's just a still slightly sticky paste, make balls with it, roll them in some eggwash then panko and fry it.
Along those same lines: crab hushpuppies.
