3 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil

CRAB CAKES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE



Crab Cakes with Remoulade Sauce image

The best crab cakes are freshly made and cooked in your skillet just until crunchy on the outside. The remoulade sauce is inspired by New Orleans cooking, and you can adjust the spice levels with more or less horseradish and Louisiana-style hot sauce. Crisp French fries make a great side, but you can go lighter with marinated green bean salad.
