Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For wonton crisps
8 square wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen
About 6 cups vegetable oil
For crab salad
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lime zest
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 cup thinly sliced white and pale green parts of scallions (reserve dark green parts for jasmine rice with peanuts and scallions )
Accompaniment: lime wedges
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Make wonton crisps:
  • Halve each wonton wrapper to make 2 rectangles, then halve each rectangle diagonally to make 2 triangles. Heat 1 1/4 inches vegetable oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until thermometer registers 360°F. Gently lay 4 triangles on oil (do not drop in, or triangles will lose their shape) and fry, turning over once, until just golden, 15 to 30 seconds total. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Fry remaining triangles in same manner.
  • Make crab salad:
  • Whisk together zest, juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl until salt is dissolved, then add olive oil, whisking until combined well.
  • Add crab, celery, and scallions to dressing and toss gently to combine.
  • Serve crab salad in glasses topped with wonton crisps.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweet, succulent flavor and a firm texture. Avoid using frozen crab meat, as it will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your crab salad. This will add color, flavor, and texture to the salad. Some good choices include celery, cucumber, red onion, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overmix the crab salad. Overmixing will make the salad tough and rubbery. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are just combined.
  • Chill the crab salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
  • Serve the crab salad in wonton cups or on crackers. Wonton cups are a fun and easy way to serve crab salad, and they can be made ahead of time. Crackers are another good option, and they can be served with a variety of dipping sauces.

Conclusion:

Crab salad in wonton cups is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its fresh, succulent crab meat, variety of vegetables, and creamy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give crab salad in wonton cups a try!
