CRAB CAKES WITH LIME SAUCE

Crab Cakes With Lime Sauce image

Can't remember where I got this; an addition to a magazine. It is very good. Not a traditional Crab Cake maybe but very tasty and very EASY. The Zaar format didn't recognize just an envelope of salad dressing mix but I am referring to one of the small envelopes about 1/4 ounce

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 medium lime
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope Italian salad dressing mix
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
12 ounces crabmeat
25 finely crushed Ritz crackers
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

Grate the peel from the lime and squeeze the juice.
Mix 1/2 of the lime juice you squeezed, 1/2 cup of the mayo, the salad dressing mix and the mustard in a medium bowl until well blended; add the crabmeat, 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs and the onion; mix lightly but thoroughly.
Shape into 16 patties; coat with remaining cracker crumbs.
Cook patties, in batches of three or four, in a large nonstick skillet (spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray also), about two minutes on each side or until lightly browned and heated through.

Tips:

Use the freshest crab meat possible. Fresh crab meat will have a sweet, delicate flavor, while frozen crab meat can be tough and bland.
If you're using frozen crab meat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before using. This will help to prevent the crab cakes from becoming watery.
Gently mix the crab meat with the other ingredients. Overmixing the crab cakes will make them tough.
Form the crab cakes into patties that are about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. This will help them to cook evenly.
Pan-fry the crab cakes over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the crab cakes immediately with the lime sauce.

Conclusion:

These crab cakes with lime sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They are perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as an appetizer. The lime sauce adds a bright and refreshing flavor to the crab cakes, and it helps to balance out the richness of the crab meat. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy crab cakes, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
