Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
18 wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lime juice, fresh
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 lb lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
1/4 cup celery, finely diced
1/2 cup mango, peeled and finely diced
1/4 cup scallion, thinly sliced white & green parts
2 tablespoons cilantro, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Coat two min-muffin tins with cooking spray.
  • To make the wonton cups, brush both sides of the wonton wrappers with the canola oil and place each wrapper into a section of a mini-muffin tin.
  • Gently press each wrapper into the tin and arrange so that it forms a cup shape.
  • The wrapper will stick up out of the cup.
  • Sprinkle with the salt and bake until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Allow the cups to cool, then remove from the tin.
  • These can be prepared the day before and stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
  • To make the dressing, whisk together the lime juice and zest, the salt, black pepper, and red pepper.
  • Add the olive oil and whisk until well combined.
  • To make the salad, in a medium bowl, gently toss together the crabmeat, celery, mango, scallions, and cilantro, trying not to break up the crab too much.
  • Add the dressing and gently toss to combine.
  • This can be prepared the day before and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
  • Fill each cup with the crab salad and serve immediately.
