THE BEST CRAB CAKES LOW CARB

Steps:

• Microwave or bake the fish until it flakes and flake up the imitation crab.
• Vhop up the green onions and add to mix with the eggs, mustard, mayo, Old Bay along with salt and pepper (you want this kind of moist to hold the breading).
• Crush the pork rinds fine, (we like our chopper for this) with some more Old Bay if you'd like.
• Heat your oil on the stove to about 350°.
• Make small patties and dip them in your dry mix (if you would like larger patties, I suggest you bake these).
• Then place them in the hot oil, just enough to cover up the patty half way.
• Brown each side, splash with lemon and serve.

CRAB CAKES - LIGHTENED UP

Steps:

• To make dipping sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill until you serve the crab cakes.
• To make crab cakes: Put the first seven ingredients into a large bowl and blend together with a whisk. Gently fold in the crab meat and plain bread crumbs. In a non-stick standard-size muffin tin, lightly coat eight muffin cups with cooking spray, then fill the cups with equal amounts of the crab misture. Press down lightly on each crab cake so that the top is flat. (Don't press too hard or they may be hard to get out.) Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour. After an hour, try to take one of the crab cakes out of the tin. It if doesn't stay together firmly, put the muffin tin in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
• Once the crab cakes are thoroughly chilled, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. fill a shallow dish with the panko bread crumbs. After removing each crab cake from the muffin tin, gently roll it in the panko until the whole crab cake has a light coating.
• Lightly coat a non-stick baking sheet with cooking spray, then place each crab cake on the sheet. Lightly coat the top of each crab cake with cooking spray. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until the coating is crispy and lightly browned. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
