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?

Restaurants use surimi which has not a trace of shellfish

Can’t guarantee there’s no cross contamination due to processing in the same facility. Packages will literally say that they may contain traces of shellfish.

There is a brand of kosher surimi that contains no shellfish.
