I decided to make these crab cakes today and everybody loved them. Had to quadruple your recipe to feed all of us. I thought I might get away with baking them with some cooking spray to reduce the fat but that left them lacking something. When I fried them, as you instructed, they were delicious! Thanks again.
Now, I have two questions for you regarding your recipe. First, did you use the egg white only instead of 1 whole egg to cut down on the fat content or because of their cooking properties? Second, did you use tvp flakes or chunks when you made these? I have only chunks so that is what I used and they were fine.
I served two sauces with them that I thought you would enjoy.
Traditional Shrimp Cocktail Sauce
3/4 cup ketchup 3 tablesppons prepared horseradish (with vinegar) 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice A few splashes of hot sauce/Tabasco (optional)
Dijon Shrimp Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons sugar A few splashes hot sauce/Tabasco (optional)
Both are simply whisked together and both are delicious.
