CRAB SALAD IN CRISP WONTON CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 mini-muffin tins with cooking spray.
• Brush the wonton wrappers with oil, and place each wrapper into a section of a mini-muffin tin. Gently press each wrapper into the tin and arrange so that it forms a cup shape. The wrapper will overlap itself and stick up out of the cup. Sprinkle with salt and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned and crisp. Remove from the tin and allow wrappers to cool.
• Meanwhile whisk together the zest, lime juice, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Add the oil and whisk until well combined.
• In a medium bowl, toss together the crabmeat, celery, mango, scallion and cilantro. Add dressing and toss to combine. Fill each cup with the crab salad and serve.

CRAB CAKE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, eggs, garlic, lemon zest and juice, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and several grinds of black pepper with a spatula in a large bowl until everything is well combined. (Do not over-stir or shred the crabmeat.) Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to hydrate.
• Using a 1/4-cup measure or 2-ounce ice cream scoop, scoop the crab mixture and roll into balls, transferring to a plate as you go.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Gently add half the meatballs and cook, turning with tongs, until brown all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining meatballs, adding up to 1 more tablespoon of oil as needed.
• Add the first batch of meatballs back to the pot and add the spicy tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water. Do not stir as it will break up the meatballs; instead, give the pot a shake so the sauce gets under the meatballs and they do not stick to the bottom. Bring to a strong simmer over medium-high heat, then lower to a gentle simmer and cook until the meatballs are heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky salt and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.

DEEP-FRIED SWEET-AND-PUNGENT CRABMEAT BALLS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a sweet-and-pungent sauce (search for "Category: Sweet-and-Pungent Sauces"). 2. Pick over crabmeat then mince, together with scallions. Chop mushrooms coarsely and add. Blend in oyster sauce, sherry, salt and pepper. Shape mixture into walnut-size balls. 3. Beat egg. Dip crabmeat balls in egg then dredge lightly in cornstarch. 4. Heat oil. Add crabmeat balls, a few at a time, and deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper toweling. 5. Reheat sweet-and-pungent sauce. Stir in crabmeat balls only to reheat.
