Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz lump crab meat, drained and picked over
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 24 pieces wonton wrappers
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture onto the center of each wrapper.
Lightly dampen the edges of the wonton wrapper with water using your finger. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges tightly to seal, ensuring no air is trapped inside.
In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.
Carefully lower a few wontons at a time into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each wonton for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
Transfer the fried wontons to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the wontons warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or a creamy garlic aioli.
