Categories     Shellfish

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

Cooking spray
18 wonton wrappers, thawed (if frozen)
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the dressing:
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the salad:
1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over
1 stalk celery, finely diced
1/2 cup finely diced mango
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of crab meat. For the best flavor, use a combination of lump crab meat, backfin crab meat, and claw crab meat. You can also use imitation crab meat, but it will not have the same flavor as fresh crab meat.
  • Don't overfill the wonton cups. If you overfill them, they will be difficult to fold and will not cook evenly.
  • Be careful when frying the wonton cups. The oil should be hot enough to fry the wonton cups quickly, but not so hot that they burn.
  • Serve the crab wonton cups with a dipping sauce. A simple soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce is a good option.

Conclusion:

Crab wonton cups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these delicious crab wonton cups at home.
