- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 24 pieces mini phyllo pastry shells
- 1 tbsp parsley

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, lump crab meat, dried cranberries, sliced green onions, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
Place the mini phyllo pastry shells on a baking sheet.
