Crab Rangoon

Posted by Solitary Dancer on August 2, 2006

Crab Rangoon
(originally by grannycraft)

This is a recipe I used to make when I (foolishly!) was eating carb laden foods and I haven’t tried it since but it should be simple enough to change the sugar to artificial sweetner.

CRAB RANGOON

1 lb. crab meat, (can be canned, just be sure to remove all shells)
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 bunch scallions, chopped (green part too)
Pinch of salt
1 tsp. sugar
1 pkg. won-ton skins
Oil for deep frying
Place crab meat, cream cheese, scallions, salt, and sugar into food processor and mix into a lumpy paste. If food processor is not available, chop crab and onions very fine and mix with softened cream cheese, salt, and sugar. Place a teaspoonful of the mixture in the middle of a won ton skin. Moisten edges and draw up opposite corners to meet and form a package. Make sure all edges are sealed. Deep fry until golden brown.

NOTE: Won Ton Skins are about 4.5 CHO each. A suggestion was made to use this mixture for stuffed mushrooms
