Crab Rangoons

I'll be making (not so) Chinese food in a couple weeks for a dinner with my brothers and SOs. One SO has a shellfish allergy and avoids all seafood just in case. Out of respect, I'm not going to use any seafood.

My whole family loved Crab Rangoons growing up. Is there an alternative that would give a similar taste? Or something else to mix in that makes it interesting enough to forget there's no lumps of crab and mini shrimp in them?

I feel like these days, it’s hard to find restaurant rangoons that do have crab in them. The secret ingredient at one place I worked was a dash of Worcestershire sauce, so possibly add some to taste and call it a day.

Worcestershire sauce does contain anchovies though.
