Ingredients

1 lb Package Frozen Crabmeat (Regular or Immitation)

1 pkg (150 ct) floured Dumpling Shells, like $1 and change at your local asian supermarket.

5-6 Scallions, chopped into coins

1/2 Red Pepper (Bell or Sweet), diced

1/2 Lemon, zested and juiced

1 Pinch Sugar

2 Tbspns Dried Dill Weed or 1/4 Cup fresh, chopped

1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley, chopped

1 tspn Salt and Pepper

(Optional) 1 tspn Dried Chervil

6 fl. oz Olive or Grapeseed Oil for frying

Directions

Chop up crabmeat into little bits, then toss into a large mixing bowl.

Mix in scallions, red pepper, lemon zest, dill, sugar, salt, pepper, parlsey, lemon juice and chervil if desired. Add a sprinkle of oil, toss and coat well.

Spread wax paper on the table and get a little container of water, you'll need them.

Peel the dumpling shells one by one, coating both sides with water and put them on the wax paper. Fill a small amount in the center about the size of a quarter, then wrap it, pinching it closed. Make sure you keep the area wet and don't put them too close together or they'll stick and rip apart.

Fill a skillet or wok with the remaining oil and heat with a high flame until oil crackles with a drop of water.

Fry dumplings on both sides until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes each. If using raw fish, 8-10 minutes.

Drain on paper towels or rack.

Serve warm with soy sauce or dumpling dipping sauce.

If desired, garnish with a lemon wedge and a spring of fresh parlsey.
