Delicious Crab Cakes mix Ginger and Lime Recipe

Here's an Asian inspired spin on a traditional crab cake-- fresh swelling crab meat blended with lime passion, grated ginger, and spicy sriracha sauce, formed into patties, egg-dipped, and dug up in crispy panko, then gently fried. Yum! The crab cakes are small, so you can either serve them for appetizers or serve numerous as a main course.

Now, if you're like me, you may wish to make a double batch, due to the fact that you can constantly use any additional crab mixture to top some butter lettuce and a couple of slices of avocado. Or, you may find yourself picking at the mix simply to make sure it tastes good, until lo and see half of it is gone, which, if you've made a double batch, still leaves you plenty for the crab cakes. Enjoy!
