CRAB CAKES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE
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.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest crabmeat possible. Fresh crabmeat should be firm, opaque, and have a mild, sweet flavor. Avoid crabmeat that is watery, discolored, or has a strong fishy smell.
- Use a light hand when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing will toughen the crab cakes.
- Be careful not to overcook the crab cakes. Crab cakes are best when they are cooked through but still moist. Overcooked crab cakes will be dry and tough.
- Serve the crab cakes with a simple remoulade sauce. Remoulade sauce is a classic accompaniment to crab cakes. It is made with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped pickles, and fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect crab cakes every time.
