Are you tired of the same ole, same ole for dinner every night? One day, it hit me and I was like, "I want crab cakes tonight!" A few weeks ago, I had crab cakes from a nearby eatery and was not a happy customer. I like my cakes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside WITHOUT an oily residue on my plate. So I decided to search for a healthier option. I'm sure all of you (well, most of you) are probably avid Pinterest users like I am and use it as an online database for recipes.
I chose to make shrimp cakes instead of crab cakes for two reasons: the thought of the canned crab I found at the grocery store gave me an uneasy feeling & crab itself is so dang pricey! So shrimp seemed to be a more viable option. I went through dozens of different recipes and compiled ideas from all of them to create the perfect recipe! I made this for my boyfriend and his parents and it was a BIG hit. With the cakes, I made a simple spicy mayo sauce and served it with steamed broccoli and a simple cilantro lime veggie rice.
And let me tell you, it tastes as good as it looks! Now it's your turn to give it a try :)
