Instructions
Red Pepper Chipotle Lime Sauce:
In a small blender (or magic bullet) puree mayonnaise, lime juice, roasted pepper and chipotle pepper.
Crab Cakes:
In a large bowl, combine crushed crackers, eggs, scallions, pepper, mayo, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
Mix well, then fold in crab meat, careful not to over mix so the crab remains in large chunks.
Gently shape into 4 patties using a 1/2 cup measuring cup. Chill in the refrigerator at least 1/2 hour before baking or freezer 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a baking sheet with oil spray.
Bake about 8 to 10 minutes on each side, until browned.
Drizzle red pepper chipotle lime sauce over crab cakes and serve.
