What’s Going On?

So after having a delicious crab dinner last night, I ended up having about a pound of leftover crab.  What did I do with the leftover crab, you ask. Well, I sure didn’t throw it out. I decided to use the leftover crab meat to make some delicious crab cakes.

I looked up a couple of recipes online, but I thought that I would mix things up a bit and just make a crab cake to my liking. I ended up just using crackers, olive oil mayonnaise, salt, pepper, an egg, minced garlic, and of course the crab.  I then made a simple aioli/dip with mayonnaise, salt, pepper, habanero hot sauce, and green onions.

After making several crab cake patties, I heated up my cast iron pan with oil. I placed the patties on the hot pan and cooked for several minutes. I cooked the crab cakes until there was a nice golden brown sear on both sides. Once the crab cakes were to my liking I took them off and plated. After all the hard work of shell cracking, the crab cakes sure paid off. It was delicious and I can’t wait to think up new ways to make crab cakes in the future. I think my next trial will be with bacon.
