Simply a perfect posting - love the crab ones, got to give the shrimp ones a try thanks for posting this, I will definitely try these for my next party!


My kids like shrimp so will have to test theses on them Ha Sounds good


I like this recipe. I've always eaten or made crabmeat rangoons, but this sounds like a great alternative to the crab. And frankly a bit easier on the budget. Fresh lump crab is expensive.


We love rangoons, just needed to find a recipe for them so I wouldn't have to go to the "Great Wall". I'm glad Mark555 mentioned these.


Silverqueen,

This is the very best recipe for Rangoon’s that I have ever had! I fixed them tonight and I am now spoiled. I will never order them out again. I have not had any that were this good anywhere. I honestly did not think that they could get any better; I looked at the Chili-garlic dipping sauce and thought, ”eh… that seems like a pain in the butt.” But the Rangoon’s were so good I gave it a try. Fantastic recipe!

Silverqueen, I just had these last night for the first time. They are wonderful. They literally melt in your mouth with the creaminess and the mix of flavors is a delight. I am not one usually for sauces but I have to say your Chili-garlic dipping sauce is superb. Absolutely a 5 in everyway. Your avatar is beautiful as well. Thanks so much. We will be using this one again, and again, and again lol.


I'm really liking the sound of this recipe. I was originally going to make shrimp tapas for x-mas eve tonight, but since I have everything to make this recipe, I think I have changed my mind! Luisa


Oh is such a good recipe I am having these for out New Years Eve Party.

Hope you will like these taste much better than the crab.

You and your have a very Blessed Christmas

Hi Queen,

Wanted to let you know my father especially loved them! He said they reminded him of a portuguese appetizer called Rissóis de Camarão (Shrimp Turnovers). I did simplify your recipe quite a bit, just sauteed wild gulf shrimp (sprinkled with a pinch of salt and pinch of sugar)with a little fresh ginger in oil, then chopped them, added to bowl of softend cream cheese with minced scallions.

For a sweet and sour sauce, I did a little hawaiian spin, using pineapple juice, sugar, rice wine vinegar and ketchup, slightly thickend with a little cornstarch.

Thanks again for the last minute inspiration! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
