Number Of Ingredients 16

Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup milk
1 pound fresh lump or jumbo lump crabmeat
One 8-ounce can whole water chestnuts, drained and chopped
3 tablespoons hot Chinese mustard
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup sweet-and-sour sauce
1 small romaine heart, thinly shredded
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup loosely-packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Fried wonton skins, shrimp chips or rice crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Beat together the cream cheese and milk in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Combine the crabmeat, water chestnuts, mustard, onion, Worcestershire, soy sauce, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl and toss gently to combine.
  • Spread out the cream cheese mixture in an even layer in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Spread the sweet-and-sour sauce on top, leaving about a 1-inch border of cream cheese all around. Spoon the crab mixture on top of the sweet-and-sour sauce. The dip can be prepared up to this point and refrigerated, covered, overnight.

Hot Crab Rangoon Dip Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: cream cheese, sour cream, lime, lime juice, chili garlic sauce, kosher salt, paprika, cayenne, fresh lump crab meat, scallions, monterey jack cheese, McCormick Sesame Seeds, vegetable oil, wonton wrappers

Provided by McCormick

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
8 oz sour cream
1 lime, zested
1 ½ teaspoons lime juice
3 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon paprika, plus more for garnish
¼ teaspoon cayenne
8 oz fresh lump crab meat
¾ cup scallions, thinly sliced, divided
1 cup monterey jack cheese, divided
4 tablespoons McCormick Sesame Seeds, plus more for wonton chip garnish
vegetable oil, for frying
25 wonton wrappers, cut in half diagonally

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Add the cream cheese to a large, microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 35-40 seconds, until softened.
  • Using a rubber spatula, stir the cream cheese, then fold in the sour cream, lime zest and juice, chili garlic sauce, salt, paprika, cayenne, and crab meat until fully combined. Gently fold in ½ cup scallions and ¾ cup Monterey Jack cheese, being careful not to break up the lumps of crab meat too much.
  • Spread the dip evenly in a 1-quart baking dish and sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup Monterey Jack cheese and the McCormick Sesame Seeds on top.
  • Bake the dip until bubbling, the cheese is melted, and the sesame seeds are light golden brown, 25-35 minutes.
  • While the dip bakes, fry the wonton chips: Fill a Dutch oven or large pot a little over halfway with the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until the oil temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
  • Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, fry the wonton triangles in the hot oil for about 15 seconds on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Adjust the heat as needed if the wontons are cooking too quickly or slowly. Transfer to paper towels to drain and season lightly with salt and McCormick Sesame Seeds.
  • Remove the dip from the oven. Sprinkle lightly with paprika and garnish with the remaining ¼ cup scallions. Serve with the wonton chips.
  • Enjoy!
