This is a basic version of a classic crab cake. I dressed it up to my liking, but I try to stay as true to delicious flavor of the crab meat as possible and not dress it up too much. I don’t like adding onions or peppers or anything unnecessary to my mix. To me less is def more when it comes to this dish. It’s extremely easy to make and from start to finish it should not take you longer that an hr to execute.
