I love, love, love Crab Rangoon's! I have never made them at home, though, so I would just wait until the once every few months we order or go out for Chinese. Well, now I don't have to wait for that fabulous taste, and neither do you! Thanks to browsing on Pinterest a few weeks ago I found a recipe for Crab Rangoon Dip and Sesame Wonton Crisps from Foodie with Family. Okay, the recipe was for either regular deep fried rangoon's or the dip, but I knew I would love the dip (read: I'm way to lazy to fold up and seam all those wontons...) Besides I would be making it for Appetizer Week and with the idea being the big game and recipes for it, dip just seemed more appropriate. Right? Yes, let's go with that.
Read on after the Hot Crab Rangoon with Sesame Wonton Crisps recipe for today's giveaway and the list of all the great recipes the participating bloggers made!
It turned out that my best friend, her husband, and her kids came over on Sunday night and we all hung out and drank while I put this together. Yes, I can drink and cook at the same time, as long as I don't drink too much! I'm multi-talented like that 🙂 My friend loved it, but her son who loves crab wouldn't touch it. I doubt he's ever had a Crab Rangoon though.
The Sesame Wonton Crisps are delicious, crispy, salty, with a hint of nutty flavor. I left mine whole, but you can cut them into strips before frying if you like. The dip is creamy, with a touch of heat from sriracha sauce (leave it out if you can't do spicy) and fabulous crab flavor!

I don't know if you would consider it a spice or an herb, but I like Penzy's Tuscan Sunset mixture.
