Lisa sent me her favorite recipe for Crab Rangoon.

Here’s what she has to say about the recipe: “At least according to my Chinese food connoisseur husband, this version tastes just as great as the restaurant kind, and it is MUCH MUCH healthier. We usually use imitation crab meat rather than real crab meat. We also have tried it without crab altogether and it comes out very tasty as well. Wonton wrappers can usually be found in the produce section of the supermarket.”

According to the Taste of Home website, you can enjoy two of these crap rangoon appetizers for only 83 calories!

14 wonton wrappers

1. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic salt and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
2. Stir in crab and onion.
3. Place 2 teaspoonfuls in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water; bring corners to center over filling and press edges together to seal.
