Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.

• Place 1 wonton wrapper in each of 24 mini muffin pan cups sprayed with cooking spray, extending edges of wrapper over rim of cup. Fill with shrimp mixture.
• Bake 18 to 20 min. or until edges of wrappers are golden brown and filling is heated through. Top with reserved onions.

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Press out as much liquid as possible from the crabmeat you are using. Any excess moisture will soak through the wonton skins. In a medium bowl, combine the crab, cream cheese, scallions, tarragon, salt and pepper either with your hands or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
• Take a wonton skin, place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
• With a finger dipped in egg, moisten the 2 adjacent sides; fold over the opposing corner to make a triangle. (You have some choices with shape. You can make a purse, tortellini or traditional triangle wontons.)
• Place the completed ones on a tray. Uncooked, rangoons can be wrapped and kept frozen for 1 to 2 weeks and dropped into the fryer frozen.
• Heat oil in a 4- or 5-quart (3.8- or 4.7-L) Dutch oven or pot until the oil reaches 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Fry in small batches until golden about 2 minutes on each side and drain on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. I like to serve these with sweet chili or plum sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and mayonnaise. Stir in green onions, paprika, lime juice, garlic powder and soy sauce. Fold in crab., Spoon 2 teaspoons filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. (Cover remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Moisten wrapper edges with water. Fold opposite sides over filling, pressing centers together to seal. Repeat with remaining sides, making a four-pointed star. Repeat., Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with mustard.

Steps:

• Chop the scallions.
• Chop the shrimp into small pieces, approximately the size of your finger nail (maybe a little smaller).
• In a bowl, mix the scallions, shrimp, and cream cheese.
• Place a dollop of the mixture in the center of the won-ton wrapper.
• Run a finger under tap water and trace the edge of the won-ton wrapper with your finger. This ensures that your rangoon won't open during when fried.
• Stick the wet edges of the won-ton wrapper together into a triangular shape. Then press two corners of the triangle together for a won-ton shape.
• Fry in hot oil until browned (3-5 min).
• Remove the rangoon onto a paper towel to allow some of the oil to run off.
