Why I love this Smoked Crab Rangoon Dip

Just 7 ingredients
Something a little different
Great for entertaining, the holidays, or for watching the game

My sister and I went on a little girls trip to western Michigan a few Summers ago and we ate at a little lake side place that served an amazing crab rangoon dip. I said I’ll have to recreate this for my site. But I forgot until recently where my husband keeps ordering crab rangoons from the local Chinese take out place. I figured what better way then to make this on our Traeger pellet grill (or smoker). Of course you can just pop it in the oven, too. But we cook outside quite a bit so I tossed it on the smoker for fun!

Ingredients Needed for this Smoked Crab Dip

🦀 Imitation Crab Meat– Of course if you have real crab that would be fantastic, but let’s face it…most of us don’t. But if for some reason you have leftover crab meat- this would be great in it! I just grabbed a pack of flake style imitation crab meat.

🦀 Cream Cheese

🦀 Whipped Dressing (Miracle Whip)- This is what I use but mayo works, too.

🦀Cayenne Pepper– Just a little for some spice. If you don’t have it you can use red pepper flakes or a creole seasoning.

🦀 Garlic– I like to use fresh garlic but garlic powder will work just fine.

🦀 Green Onions

🦀 Sweet Thai Chili Sauce

🦀 Wonton Chips– I decided to make wonton chips in the oven which was super easy (see below) or Tortilla Chips will work just fine.

How to make this Smoked Crab Rangoon Dip with Wonton Chips

Step 1️⃣: Combine dip ingredients. In a mixing bowl combine softened cream cheese, crab meat (reserve a little for the topping), whipped dressing, garlic, cayenne pepper and half of the sliced green onions.

Step 2️⃣:Stir everything until well combined.

Step 3️⃣: Pour into small baking dish or small cast iron pan. Spread around and add the reserved crab meat on top.

Step 4️⃣: Place into pre-heated smoker and smoke at 225 for 1 hour or until hot throughout.

For the Baked Wonton Chips

Step 5️⃣:Take a stack of the wonton wrappers out and use a pizza cutter to slice them into triangles. Place them on a baking sheet.

Step 6️⃣: Brush with a little cooking oil and sprinkle with some salt. Bake at 400 degrees for about 3 minutes, rotate pan and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Watch these closely as they burn quickly.

Step 7️⃣:Once the dip is heated throughout, top with the sweet Thai chili sauce and the rest of the slices green onions. Serve warm with the homemade wonton chips and enjoy!
