Great recipe in Shape

Every now and then, they print something quite tasty and very easy! I just hate the ones that involve a trip to the store to buy 8 ingredients you never stock in your kitchen.

Thanks for the tip!!!!
 
There is a really great recipe for shrimp cakes at Epicurious.com. The chili-lime sauce is really good with them as well. I bet you could make them with crab, too.
 
Creole Crab Cakes with Cranberries

Serves 4
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Cooking Spray (preferably olive oil)
12 oz fresh jumbo lump crab meat
1/2 cup + 2 tbs instant oates, divided
1/3 cup fresh, frozen or dried cranberries
2 tbs fat free mayonnaise
1 teas dijon mustard
1 1/2 teas Creole or Cajun seasoning divided

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine crabmeat, 2 tbs of the oats, cranberries, mayo, mustard and 1 teaspoon of Creole seasoning. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to break up the crabmeat. In a shallow dish, stir remaining oats and seasoning together with a fork.

Shape crab mixture into 4 equal size patties, about 1 inch thick. Transfer crab cakes to oat/seasoning mixture and turn to coat both sides. Place crab cakes on prepared baking sheet and spray the tops and sides with cooking spray. Bake 15 minutes, until crab cakes are golden brown and firm to touch. Serve immediately.

Thanks for copying the recipe. I just got home and was about to do it and saw that it had already been done. Thanks again. I am sure you will all like the crabcakes.
