I had to ask for my hand in marriage upon eating these crab cakes. OMG, are these crab cakes good!
Crab Cakes with Remoulade
These crab cakes are on the bready side, so if that's not your preference, omit a couple tablespoons of breadcrumbs. Serve with a green salad.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 crab cake and 2 tablespoons rémoulade)
