CRAB CAKES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE



Crab Cakes with Remoulade Sauce image

The best crab cakes are freshly made and cooked in your skillet just until crunchy on the outside. The remoulade sauce is inspired by New Orleans cooking, and you can adjust the spice levels with more or less horseradish and Louisiana-style hot sauce. Crisp French fries make a great side, but you can go lighter with marinated green bean salad.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat is the key to delicious crab cakes. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but make sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the crab cakes. Over-mixing the crab cakes will make them tough. Use a gentle touch when mixing the ingredients together.
  • Don't overcook the crab cakes. Crab cakes are best when they are cooked through but still moist. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Crab cakes are traditionally served with tartar sauce, but you can also serve them with other dipping sauces, such as cocktail sauce, remoulade, or spicy mayonnaise.

Conclusion:

Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect crab cakes every time.
