So what is a crab rangoon?
Basically, it is a mixture of crab meat with cream cheese, garlic, Worcestershire sauce..etc. Wonton wrappers are used to wrap up the crabmeat filling. These little parcels are then fried and you get this super addictive and utterly delicious snack that is impossible not to love. Even though these crab rangoon are basically wontons but I love how the cream cheese gives it a “modern twist”. My family literally devoured a WHOLE tray of these!!
These crab rangoon are easy to make ahead of time in case you are planning to serve these while entertaining guests. Although artificial crabmeat is mostly being used, feel free to use real crab meat based on your personal preference. No one is going to judge you for being fancy.
