Delicious Crab Cakes in Under 20 Minutes

When Spring and Summer roll around, I love to add more seafood into the mix. However, I try to spend less time in the kitchen and more time outside. That’s why these Delicious Crab Cakes in Under 20 minutes will be on menu a lot this summer.

These crab cakes are incredibly delicious! The combination of ingredients in this recipe is so perfect. There is a little tang from the Dijon mustard, a little heat from the Franks Red Hot Sauce, freshness from the herbs and lemon…ahhhh so good!

Good quality lump crab meat also helps. Unfortunately in Michigan, we don’t have the easy access to great seafood. But there are great places to get sustainable seafood. Trader Joe’s and Costco are a couple of my go-to’s for meat and seafood. It’s also good to talk with the folks from your local grocery store. Don’t be afraid to ask them where the seafood comes from, how it’s stores, etc. Here is a great resource for asking the right questions: https://www.seafoodwatch.org/consumers

These crab cakes alongside a glass of dry white wine – one of my favorite summer combinations! These would be great to serve at a summer garden party, you could even make mini crab cakes to serve as an appetizer. You can put them along side a farro salad, or on a bed of radicchio and arugula like I did here. So many options! And the spicy aioli is the perfect addition to the crab cakes! I make it in bulk and use as a salad dressing too! Definitely give this recipe a try this summer! Cheers!
