Crab Cakes

This sounds wonderful but being from Texas, I think I will add a little cayenne pepper and garlic to it or a pinch of chili powder. The recipe only calls for salt. If you saute the onion (shallots) wonder why you don't saute the bell pepper at the same time. Can't wait to try it as is the first time before I alter the recipe. May not need anything else. Looks mmmmm good.

Crab Cakes

We love Crab Cakes and the Hass Avocados added such a rich, creamy delicious flavor! (I found that I can freeze the crab cakes and then reheat and the Avocado is still great in there!)
