Spicy Crab Cakes with Horseradish-Sriracha Remoulade

Spicy Crab Cakes with Horseradish Sriracha Remoulade


By now you're probably sick of eating turkey. One thing we never get sick of in our house is seafood - we could probably eat it everyday and not have so much as a peep of a complaint spoken. It's almost the weekend so I hope you have a little bit more down time & more time to cook! Skip the take out or the your usual chicken routine & try this spicy crab cake recipe (or if spice isn't for you, try these). It's got a little bit of spice & the remoulade (aka fancy word for saucy tartar-esque mayo) I adapted from this recipe I found that actually reminded me of these crab cakes I made a while back.  It's a great recipe to prep earlier in the day & then stick in the fridge & cook when you're ready because the cooking part only takes a matter of minutes.

You can serve it as an appetizer or load up an entree plate with two cakes & some veggies & call it dinner like we did. We had left overs so I packed up the ingredients  (crab cake - wrapped in foil; 2 slices of bread; a small container of remoulade; mixed baby field greens) for a crab cake sandwich that both Chris & I constructed for lunch at our respective offices.

Crab Cakes with Sriracha Mayo

The other night I crafted these crab cakes, or shall I call them crab piles, for a quick dinner.  It's true I should have let them sit in the fridge so they could stay together but who wants to eat at 10pm on a school night?  Not this girl & definitely not the guy she married.  So I carefully flipped my piles in a saute pan & well they still got a nice crispy crust & were tasty enough to serve & eat.

Crab Cake Sandwich Dinner

I have a new found love for cooking with lump crab meat. I went off this recipe for crab cake sliders & morphed them into regular (ok pretty large) sandwiches.  I didn't have the crackers that How Sweet It Is used so I used panko bread crumbs.  After I mixed in all of the panko I thought they would add a nice crunch to the outside so I dipped my crab cakes in more panko before pan frying them.

Then what really attracted me to this recipe was the toppings - a pineapple kiwi salsa + a spicy lime yogurt spread! Yes, PLEASE! I also really dig cooking with greek yogurt instead of mayo & well this menu has greek yogurt in two spots, happy win!

Thanks for the inspiration How Sweet It Is! I hope I did your recipe justice!
Happy weekend everyone & thanks for reading!
