Crab Cakes With Chipotle Peppers Recipe #103846
These fresh, crisp & tender crab cake has a nice spicy smokey taste that has a Southern kick to them. Fresh Lump crabmeat, mixed with celery, scallions, peppers and chipotle peppers in adobe sauce fried up and served on a bed of cilantro, lime slices and a nice dollop of my Smokey tartar sauce ( Recipe #120370 ). These are slightly smokey, tender on the inside and crisp on the outside. You can make these into little patties and serve as an appetizer. You MUST use LUMP crab meat and be careful not to break it up. There's nothing like sweet crab meat!
