Pinterest for the win, yet again!  These were enjoyed by the whole family, and pretty easy to make!  Wahoo! 

Crab Cake:

• 2 cups crab
• 1 clove garlic (I added more)
• 1 TBS lemon juice
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
• 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 1 TBS parsley, chopped
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 TBS almond flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp avocado oil for frying

Sauce:

• 1/4 cup mayo (I used paleo avocado oil mayo)
• 1/4 cup cocktail sauce
• 1 tsp lime juice
• 1/2 tsp chipotle powder (optional)
• 1 tsp garlic

1. In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients for the crab cakes, except for the oil, and stir until mixed well.  
2. In a large pan, heat oil for frying.
3. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, form patties approximately 3 inches in diameter and place on hot skillet.  Fry the crab cakes for 2-3 minutes per side, until crisp and golden in color.
