These crab cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll make them again with less red chili pepper.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crab cakes didn't turn out very well. They were too dry and didn't have much flavor.

The crab cakes were a bit dry. I think I should have added more mayonnaise to the mixture.

The crab cakes fell apart when I tried to flip them in the pan. I think I should have let them cook for a little longer before trying to flip them.

These crab cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less red chili pepper next time.

I added a little bit of chopped red bell pepper to the crab cakes for some extra color and flavor.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I made these crab cakes with imitation crab meat. They were still delicious!
