Ya ever get crab rangoon and think its really just a deep fried pouch of cream cheese? Not mine! They are loaded with crab and shrimp and I bake them. Heres a quick step by step video that I put together from photos I took so you can see the process. The recipe seems complicated, but it really isnt, thats why I did the photo shoot. youtu.be/U7XT26QQO-A Heres the recipe Ingredients 1/4 cup minced onions 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger 6 ounces shrimp 8 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, softened 2 teaspoons soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce 1/4 cup chopped green onions 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro leaves 2 ounces light or fat free shredded cheddar cheese 1 pound imitation crabmeat 1 package wonton wrappers Peanut or Sesame oil Instructions In a small skillet, cook the onions, garlic, and ginger, stirring, until soft, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp, stir, and remove from the heat. In a bowl, combine the cooked onion mixture, cream cheese, soy sauce, hot sauce, green onions, cilantro and cheddar cheese and blend together. Fold in the crabmeat, being careful not to break up the lumps. Adjust the seasoning, to taste. Place the wonton wrappers on a work surface. Place about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the mixture into the center of the wonton wrapper and wet the edges. Fold over the sides to form a triangle and press to seal the edges. Heat your oven to 400. Lightly oil a cookie sheet. Place rangoon on the cookie sheet. Bake for 5 minutes then take the cookie sheet out of the oven and flip the rangoon over. Place the sheet back in the oven for 5 minutes. The idea is to make sure the rangoon are a light, golden brown, so adjust the time as needed. Arrange the crab rangoons on a platter. Serve hot with dipping sauce. Notes You can see that I put a tiny bit of oil on these rangoons. You dont really need to at all, as long as you have a little on the pan. They bake up quite nicely. Enjoy.
