Chili Lime Crab Cakes

We love these Chili Lime Crab Cakes with Chipotle Avocado Mayonnaise. You can spruce them up Mexican-style for a quite filling entre' like we did here!

Ingredients:






  • 1 lb. Crab Meat

  • 10 Saltine crackers, crushed

  • 1 large Egg

  • 2 Tbsp. Ranch dressing

  • 2 tsp. Oriental Chili Garlic Paste

  • 2 tsp. Lime Juice

  • 1 Tbsp. Cilantro

  • 2 Tbsp. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil






Chipotle Avocado Mayo Sauce:

1 medium-sized Avocado, roughly mashed
1/2 tsp. Chipotle Chili Powder
1/2 tsp. Lemon juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4 cup Mayonnaise

To Prepare the Sauce:

Combine mayonnaise, chili powder, avocado, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl and blend well. Chill.

To Prepare the Crab Cakes:

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the crab meat, crackers, egg, ranch dressing, garlic paste, lime juice, and cilantro.

Form into 4-6 crab cakes.

Sauté in olive oil until golden brown on both
sides. Try to turn them only once, so they don't fall apart.

Serves 4-6.

There's a special way to tell when crabs are done cooking. Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked.
Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat.
