Ingredients

Scale

Main Filling:

  • 1 cup lump crab meat (picked over for shells)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Additional:

  • 20 wonton wrappers
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Assemble: Place a spoonful of filling onto a wonton wrapper. Moisten edges, fold into a triangle, and press to seal.
  3. Fry: Heat oil to 350°F. Fry crab crunchies in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Serve: Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • You can air fry these at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, spraying lightly with oil.
  • Use imitation crab if real crab isn’t available.
  • These make a great party appetizer and can be prepped ahead and frozen before frying.
