This was an easy recipe to prepare. I was not a fan of the sauce so I prepared only the crab cakes.

I either did not use the correct crab (I used what I had) or the egg in the mixture was too firm (prepared night before) but I could not make these into a patty. I also used panko instead of bread crumbs.

I simply added oil to my pan and sauteed until it was brown and cooked through. It was good.
