Paleo Crab Cakes

My husband and I decided that his favorite to date is my turkey lettuce wraps w/ sriracha and my favorite is the paleo crab cakes with avocado cream.

I was on my way home from work and I was thinking to myself, "what am I going to make for dinner?". I had a long week, so I was craving a healthy delicious fulfilling extra special dinner that I normally wouldn't make on a daily basis. I knew either way I had to head to the grocery store to pick up what I needed. It came to mind that I could make crab cakes, they are fast, easy and delicious. I'm a big seafood lover, so I am always ready to eat seafood.

I think I was in & out of the grocery store in 15 minutes & I made the meal in 15. I would say it was a success.

Recipe
1 container of FRESH premium crab meat (you could use canned but fresh to me tastes 100x better)
1 cup almond meal
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 tbsp of green onion
1 egg
1 lime
Cilantro
Coconut oil for frying

Combine everything in a bowl, adding in more almond flour if you like more crabby- crab cakes or more cake like (if that makes sense).

I used coconut oil for frying, putting in the skillet 2 tbsp and making crab cake mixture into balls & throwing into the skillet. I cooked each side about 4-5 minutes.

In a small food processor- combine avocado, salt, pepper, cilantro, lime, 1 tbsp of coconut milk and process until smooth.

Place a Dollop of avocado on each crab cake and enjoy. I served it with blackbeans and sautéed veggies. I could eat these every night! Yummy

Enjoy! Xoxo
