Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

FOR THE WONTONS
18 wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen
2 tsp canola oil
1/4 tsp salt
FOR THE DRESSING
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp finely grated lime zest
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp olive oil
FOR THE SALAD
1/2 lb lump crabmeat, picked for shells
3/4 c celery, finely diced
1/2 c peeled and finely diced ripe mango
1/4 c thinly sliced green onions, white and green parts
2 Tbsp coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375* To make the wonton cups, brush both sides of the wonton wrappers with canola oil and gently press each wrapper into a mini-muffin tin so that it forms a cup shape. Sprinkle with the salt and bake until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cups and remove from tin.
  • 2. To make the dressing, whisk together the lime juice and zest, the salt, black pepper and red pepper. Add the olive oil and whisk until well combined.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat has a sweeter and more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned or frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Dice the crab meat finely: This will help to prevent the crab meat from falling out of the wonton cups when you eat them.
  • Use a light and fluffy mayonnaise: This will help to keep the crab salad light and airy.
  • Add some chopped celery and onion for crunch: This will help to add some texture and flavor to the crab salad.
  • Season the crab salad to taste with salt and pepper: This will help to bring out the flavor of the crab meat.
  • Use wonton wrappers that are not too thick: This will help to ensure that the wonton cups are crispy.
  • Bake the wonton cups until they are golden brown: This will help to ensure that they are crispy and delicious.
  • Fill the wonton cups with the crab salad immediately after they come out of the oven: This will help to keep the crab salad warm and prevent the wonton cups from becoming soggy.
