Ingredients
– 1 pound fresh crab meat (or canned, drained)
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– ½ cup cream cheese, softened
– 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 package spring roll wrappers or wonton wrappers
– Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
Creating Delicious Crab Crunchies is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
2. Prepare Wrappers: Lay out the spring roll or wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Keep a small bowl of water nearby.
3. Fill the Wrappers: Place about a tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of each wrapper.
4. Seal the Wrappers: Dip your fingers in the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle or roll it into a cylinder shape. Press the edges to seal securely.
5. Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. You should have enough oil to submerge the crab crunchies partially.
6. Fry the Crunchies: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the crab crunchies in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
7. Drain Oil: Once cooked, remove the crunchies from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
8. Serve Warm: Let them cool slightly before serving.
