Juicy Crab Cakes

Ingredients :

4 cans Lump Crab Meat or 1-1/2 lbs fresh picked (if you've got skills)

1 Green Onion

1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard

1 ½ cups finely crushed low fat or fat free Ritz crackers (about 40)

1 cup low fat Hellman’s (or Best Foods) mayonnaise

¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice

¼ cup olive oil

¼ cup fat free sour cream

2 tsp. grated lime peel (wash limes thoroughly)

1 tsp. chopped cilantro

Directions :

Combine Crab Meat, green onion, mustard and only 1 cup crushed crackers, ½ cup mayonnaise, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice and mix together. Shape into 6 patties and coat with the remaining cracker crumbs.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook Crab Cakes for approx. 3-4 min on each side or until lightly browned. Place on serving platter.

Juicy Dipping Sauce- combine sour cream, lime peel, remaining mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of lime juice and whisk until well blended. Drop a dollop of sauce onto each cake and sprinkle with a pinch of cilantro.

For those who like it extra juicy, slice a lime and place wedges on platter for squeezing.
