Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a large bowl, combine the shredded imitation crab meat, softened cream cheese, and sour cream.
3
Add most of the chopped green onions (reserving some for garnish), Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
4
Mix in about half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
5
Stir everything together until well combined.
6
Transfer the mixture to small oven-safe skillets or a single baking dish and spread evenly.
7
Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
8
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
9
For a golden-brown top, switch the oven to broil and cook for another 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
10
While the dip is baking, prepare the wonton chips. Cut the wonton wrappers in half diagonally to create triangles.
11
Heat about an inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the wonton triangles in batches until golden and crispy, about 30-60 seconds per side.
12
Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
13
Once the dip is out of the oven, garnish with the reserved chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes.
14
Serve immediately with the fresh wonton chips and a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Soften cream cheese at room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free dip.
Drain imitation crab meat well to prevent excess moisture that can make the dip watery during baking.
Divide the green onions—stir half into the mixture and garnish the top just before serving for fresh onion flavor.
Bake in a shallow dish so the dip heats evenly and the top browns nicely; watch the edges for the first sign of bubbling.

Substitutions

Imitation crab → lump crab meat or cooked shrimp (use equal amount; drain well)
Cheddar + Monterey Jack → mozzarella or a seafood blend cheese (maintains creamy texture)
Sour cream → Greek yogurt (reduces tang slightly)
Sweet chili sauce → sriracha mayo or cocktail sauce (adjust heat to preference)
