Baked Crab Rangoon (or Shrimp–also see the crab-free version)

Baked Crab Rangoon

Back in the day when we'd go out for Chinese food a lot (before I cared so much about what disgusting oil they were using there), we'd always get the crab rangoon appetizer, so of course I had to recreate them.  🙂

Note that I'm only making this baked version because they're so easy and less messy, NOT because I want to avoid fat–just a little reminder that healthy fats are good for you!  (And I'm not just talking about avocados and olive oil, which are great, but those are the mainstream “darlings”.  I'm talking about healthy animal fats like BUTTER that humans have been eating long before there was heart disease.  Read more here.)

So this recipe will get you loads of compliments because it's reeeeeally tasty and easy to make, too–you'll want to make a lot because they go fast.  ***You can make it with crab or shrimp.

By the way, if you love Asian food, here are more of my favorite Chinese/Asian recipes.  (Egg rolls, chicken lettuce wraps, sweet and sour chicken and more…)  And here's another recipe using wonton wrappers and some crazy ingredients that you wouldn't think would taste good together but they really do!  Wonton Appetizer:

Baked Crab Rangoon Appetizer Recipe

These are so good on their own, but you can serve them with some sort of sauce as pictured above--we like them just how they are!
Servings: 24 Rangoons
Author: Kelly the Kitchen Kop

Ingredients

  • 2 Crab legs, boiled OR 1.5 cups shrimp, cooked and chopped small (I tried to buy a can of crab meat, really I did, but just couldn't bring myself to serve all those preservatives to my family! If you can get past it, and I suppose it's rare that you'll make this, it is easier and cheaper. So if you use the canned, use one can, drained and flaked.)
  • 1/2 pound cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
  • 12 ounces cream cheese softened (I use organic)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Here's my homemade mayo recipe that is very good and easy! (See the video at that post.)
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 24 wonton wrappers In the refrigerated section at the grocery store – the ingredient label on these wasn't bad at all.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350*.  Mix cream cheese, mayo, garlic powder, pepper, and salt together well. Flake the crab meat out of each crab leg.  Stir in the the crab meat (or shrimp) and bacon. If everyone likes green onions, mix those in too, otherwise sprinkle on top of some, and leave others without. (You can reserve some for garnish if you want.)
  • Butter 24 mini muffin cups and gently push a wonton wrapper down into each, you'll need to gently fold it on 2 sides as you push it into the bottom of the cup.  The edges will stand up out of the cups.  Fill evenly with mixture, not quite to the top of the cup.  Add the green onion if you didn't add it to the mixture.
  • Bake 10-13 minutes (or longer) until filling is hot and wrappers are golden brown and crispy.  Watch them or they can get too brown quickly.  Serve warm.
  • These can easily be made ahead and then baked right before serving.
  • This recipe makes 24, but 48 wonton wrappers come in a package, so you could double it if you have 2 mini muffin pans and a lot of people to feed.

Now, for the crab or shrimp-free version…

Crab-Free Cheesy Rangoons

You can make this without bacon if you need a tasty, vegetarian option. 
Servings: 24 Rangoons

Ingredients

  • 2 softened bars of cream cheese (16 ounces)
  • 3/4 cup shredded parmesan
  • 1/2 cup mayo, check out my homemade recipe
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Handful of chives or green onion, chopped small – add last and stir in (reserve some to garnish)
  • 1/2 pound bacon, cooked, crumbled small (optional)
  • 24 wonton wrappers-- they're in the refrigerated section at the grocery store – the ingredient label on these wasn't bad at all.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350*.  Mix up the cream cheese, parmesan, mayo, garlic powder, sea salt, pepper, chives, and (optional) bacon.
  • Butter 24 mini muffin cups and gently push a wonton wrapper down into each.  The edges will stand up out of the cups.  Fill evenly with crab meat mixture, not quite to the top of the cup.  Sprinkle a few more green onions around the top for garnish.
  • Cover loosely with foil, bake 10 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.  Serve warm.
  • These can easily be made ahead and then baked right before serving.

    Thanks for this! I’ve been CRAVING crab rangoon since I got pregnant, and haven’t wanted to eat the fried ones full of nasty stuff from the local chinese restaurant.

    its long past NYE, but my cravings certainly haven’t stopped. this may be whipped up this weekend for some delicious snacking!

    Interesting! I think you can buy crab at Trader Joe’s in big plastic tubs, though I haven’t checked them for preservatives. They are in a refrigerated case so they may not have any. That might be a better option for those who don’t want to use real crab legs and don’t want to use a can. Now I want crab….

    This looks and sounds amazing! And crab cheese wontons are my serious guilty pleasure. I could eat them all day. I am going to have to try this, but I will have to use canned. I’m a potomac raised girl living in land locked colorado…i don’t trust the “fresh” crab here.

    What type of mini muffin pan do you use? This recipe looks great, but I would probably do a veggie version.
