   In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the melted butter, chopped yellow onion, fresh parsley, and chopped celery.

2. 2

   Microwave on high power for 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

   Ongeveer 4 min

   Tip van de kok: Microwave power varies, so check the vegetables after 3 minutes to avoid overcooking.

4. 4

   Microwave on high for 1 minute to fully soften the cream cheese, then stir until the mixture is smooth.

   Tip van de kok: If the cream cheese isn't fully melted, microwave in 30-second bursts until it stirs smoothly.

5. 5

   Stir in the garlic powder, hot sauce, salt, and Worcestershire sauce until thoroughly combined.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: For a gluten-free dip, ensure your Worcestershire sauce is certified gluten-free as some brands contain wheat.

6. 6

   Gently fold in the drained crabmeat, being careful not to break up the pieces too much.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: Using a spatula for folding helps keep the crabmeat chunks intact for better texture.
