Crab Cakes

By Jen Paleracio | December 30, 2020

If you love seafood, this is the perfect recipe for you. I also made the Remoulade sauce that compliment the flavor of the crab cakes. Remoulade is a creamy sauce with mayonnaise and spices.

Let’s start cooking!

Spices: Smoked paprika, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, and salt
I used 1 1/2 fresh crab meat, drained, flaked, and all cartilage removed. You can also use canned crab meat.
For the Remoulade sauce: mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Sriracha, and Worcestershire sauce. For the spices: smoked paprika, parsley flakes, garlic clove, and salt.
