Crab Rangoon Bites Recipes

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Combine garlic, cream cheese, crab, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce in a bowl. To prevent wonton skins from drying, prepare only 1 or 2 rangoon at a time. Place 1 teaspoon of filling onto the center of each wonton skin. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wonton skin diagonally to form a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Moisten one of the bottom corners. Create a crown by pulling both bottom corners together and sealing. Arrange the rangoon on the baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

BAKED CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except wonton skins and butter.
• Mix until well blended.
• Place 1 teaspoon filling in center of each wonton skin.
• Moisten edges with water.
• Fold in half to form triangle, pressing edges to seal.
• Pull bottom corners down and overlap slight; moisten one corner and press to seal. (Usually there is a diagram on the wonton package. I think they look like little kerchiefs.).
• Arrange on baking sheet that has been coated with vegetable spray.
• Brush with melted butter.
• Bake in 425º oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve hot with desired sauce.
• NOTE: I like hoisin or plum sauce and sweet and sour -- even jalapeno pepper jelly!
• NOTE: These can also be fried, if prefer.

CHEESY CRAB BITES

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer.
• Combine the mozzarella, cream cheese, garlic salt and crushed red pepper in a food processor. Pulse until a thick paste is formed, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough to form a 16-by-12-inch rectangle. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out 10 to 12 rounds of dough. Use your fingertips to gently stretch each round of dough into a 4-inch circle. Top a round of dough (slightly off-center) with 1 heaping teaspoon of the cheese mixture and 1 teaspoon crabmeat. Fold the dough in half over the filling to create a half-moon. Press the edges together to seal the pocket and crimp with the prongs of a fork. (See Cook's Note.) Repeat this process with the remaining circles and filling.
• Preheat the vegetable oil to 350 degrees F and line a plate with paper towels.
• Working in batches, carefully lay the pizza pockets in the hot oil. Fry until deeply golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minute on each side. Remove from the hot oil to the lined plate to cool slightly.
• Garnish with fresh parsley.

BAKED CRAB RANGOON RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375F.
• Brush each of the wontons on both sides with olive oil and then push them into the well of a mini-muffin pan to create a small cup. Bake for 5 minutes, or until the wontons are no longer limp.
• While the wontons are baking, combine the remaining ingredients (cream cheese, mayonnaise, crab meat, green onion, lime juice, shredded cheese, soy sauce, sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder) in a small bowl.
• Fill each of the wonton cups with crab rangoon dip. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the shells are golden brown on the outside and the filling is hot all the way through. Garnish with additional green onion, if desired.

CRAB RANGOON TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and onion dip until blended; stir in crab. Arrange tart shells on an ungreased baking sheet. Fill with crab mixture., Bake until golden brown and heated through, 11-13 minutes. If desired, serve with sweet-and-sour sauce.

Steps:

• Melt together cream cheese and butter in a small saucepan. Add crab meat and seasonings, stirring gently for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
• Spread mixture evenly over toasted muffin halves and sprinkle with chopped parsley and more Old Bay seasoning. Place on cookie sheet. (For OAMC, freeze them on the baking sheet, then transfer to a heavy duty freezer bag and use as needed). Bake in preheated 425F oven for about 5 minutes (about 10 minutes if frozen).
• Serve whole, or use a pizza cutter and cut each into 4 segments for appetizers.

NO FRY CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet, and set aside.
• Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, onion, garlic powder, and sugar in a bowl, and beat until soft and well mixed. Lightly stir in the flaked imitation crab meat.
• Fill a bowl with lukewarm water. Remove a wonton wrapper from the stack, and cover the stack with a damp paper towel to keep the wrappers from drying out. With your finger, wet two adjoining edges of the wrapper with water, and place about 2 teaspoons of filling in the center. Fold the wrapper into a triangle shape, pressing out all the air and sealing the edges well. Place the filled wonton on the prepared baking sheet while you finish filling and folding the wontons.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until the wonton edges turn brown and crisp. Serve immediately.
