<lol> I still don't shell crab for others unless I'm making a crab
omelet for dad. :-) Everyone can shell their OWN crabs, then I'll heat
the lemon/garlic butter dip for them to use when they are ready for it.
Last time I made real crab rangoons tho', I bought flaked crab meat from
the freezer section at the Korean market. Don't recall exactly what it
cost but I do remember that it was reasonably priced:

I didn't do a step by step for that series (hadn't really done much of
that in '05) but next time I make them, I will. Hard to believe it's
been that long since I've made rangoon! I'll probably make it with
shrimp next tho' unless I get to a market that sells reasonably priced
crab meat. The last time I ate some surimi was a couple of weeks ago
and it will be the last time! It used to be good. This batch had NO
flavor whatsoever. :-( It's no longer worth the price with the crappy
quality...
