  • Serving suggestion: Serve crab cakes on top of some mix greens that have been tossed with some olive oil, salt and pepper before adding the other garnish.
  • Tip: Handle the crabmeat as little as possible in order to keep the succulent lumps intact.

  • The sauce can also be used as a dip for boiled shrimp or steamed asparagus; add a little milk to make a tangy salad dressing.
