I was craving crab puffs from the local Chinese restaurant, but didn't want to go out to get them and I looked around my kitchen and seemed to have similar ingredients, so I made some myself with a bit of a twist. These have salad shrimps in them and aren't made with wonton wrappers. So they aren't that authentic, but they turned out very tasty and I was happy with the results. This is very similar to my Spinach Puffs recipe.
Crab and Salad Shrimp Puffs
Ingredients:
1 8oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1 pkg imitation crab, shredded
1 handful peeled salad shrimp
1 med. onion, peeled and diced
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 8oz pkg refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
Directions:
Prepare ingredients as stated above. Combine cream cheese, imitation crab, salad shrimp, onion and garlic. Mix well. Blend in blender or food processor if needed.
Open crescent roll dough and separate the rolls out flat onto a cookie sheet. Spoon a large spoonful of the mixture in the middle each triangle.
Roll the triangles up making sure each puff has some space in between it on the cookie sheet, and bake according to the directions on the package (usually this will be on an ungreased cookie sheet at 375 degrees for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown).
Use excess crab/shrimp goo as a yummy dip.
