6 oz. (1 cup) cooked, frozen or canned crab or shrimp
1 Tblsp. lemon juice
1 (8 oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/4 tsp. celery salt OR 1/4 tsp. garlic salt

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
60 won ton wrappers (1 pound)

Recipe

Rinse and drain seafood thoroughly. Shred crab or chop shrimp to make about 1 cup; sprinkle lemon juice over seafood. Beat cream cheese and seasonings until smooth and creamy. Stir in seafood, chestnuts, and onions. Makes 2 cups.

Place a scant teaspoon of seafood mixture in center of each won ton wrapper. Brush edges of wrapper with lightly beaten egg white or 1 Tblsp. flour mixed with 2 Tblsp. cold water. Bring the 4 corners up over filling and pinch together. Pinch edges together and shape to resemble a pinwheel. Keep covered as you work. Deep fry 3 or 4 pinwheels at a time for 2 to 3 minutes.

Makes about 60.
