Spicy Cajun Crab Rangoon
- 12 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1/2 pound lump crabmeat
- 1/2 pound spicy sausage
- 1 can Rotel tomatoes, drained
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- several dashes Tabasco
- wonton wrappers
- peanut oil, for frying
- Combine all the filling ingredients together in a small bowl, adding the crabmeat last and folding gently to incorporate.
- Holding wonton skin in the palm of your hand, put 1 tablespoon of filling in the center and wet all 4 edges with a little bit of water.
- Fold corner to corner and press firmly to seal into a triangle.
- Make sure to push out any air that might be trapped inside as you seal.
- You can go ahead and toss these in the oil now or you can trick them out by pushing down to create a divot in the filling on the folded edge and bring the 2 ends/tips together.
- Using a little water seal the two ends together.
- You should end up with something that looks like a fat tortellini.
- Either way, heat 6 cups of peanut oil in a heavy bottom sauce pan to 375F and fry your wonton, in batches, until golden brown.
- Drain on layers of paper towels and serve hot or room temperature.
