Can't remember where I got this; an addition to a magazine. It is very good. Not a traditional Crab Cake maybe but very tasty and very EASY. The Zaar format didn't recognize just an envelope of salad dressing mix but I am referring to one of the small envelopes about 1/4 ounce Ingredients:
1 medium lime |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope italian salad dressing mix |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
12 ounces crabmeat |
25 finely crushed ritz crackers |
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions |
1/4 cup sour cream |
Directions:
1. Grate the peel from the lime and squeeze the juice.
2. Mix 1/2 of the lime juice you squeezed, 1/2 cup of the mayo, the salad dressing mix and the mustard in a medium bowl until well blended; add the crabmeat, 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs and the onion; mix lightly but thoroughly.
3. Shape into 16 patties; coat with remaining cracker crumbs.
4. Cook patties, in batches of three or four, in a large nonstick skillet (spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray also), about two minutes on each side or until lightly browned and heated through.
5. Mix remaining 1/2 cup Mayo, remaining lime juice and peel, the sour cream and salt to taste until well blended; serve with the crab cakes.
