Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

To make the wonton cups, brush both sides of the wonton wrappers with the canola oil and gently press each wrapper into a mini-muffin tin so it forms a cup shape. Sprinkle with the salt and bake until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cups and remove from the tin. To make the dressing, whisk together the lime juice and zest, the salt, black pepper and red pepper. Add the olive oil and whisk until well combined. To make the salad, in a medium bowl, gently toss together the crab meat, celery, mango, scallions and cilantro. Add the dressing and combine. Fill each cup with the crab salad and serve immediately.
