Super delicious and SO easy, really pretty quick, and for a poor college student, really not that expensive to make! I used the herb goat cheese which actually I felt worked really well, and next time we're going to try adding those little mini shrimp cocktail shrimp. We tried the crab cakes with both a plum sauce and a Thai red pepper chili sauce, and while both worked, I recommend the chili sauce. The mild spiciness was a nice contrast.

Made these last weekend to serve before a crawfish etouffe main meal -- really good and easy! Used good quality canned crab, a mixture of Ritz and butter crackers, and Chavrie, which is a very mild tasting goat cheese. Next time, will use a stronger flavored cheese and/or one with herbs or spices. Found it easier to shape the cakes after the mixture had chilled in the refrigerator for about an hour. Served with a dollop of some wasabi mayo I whipped up with a little lime juice, green onion and fresh grated ginger. They were good warm and at room temp. Yumm!

I enjoy cooking. That's probably why I'm a member. My mother has taught me to cook, and I have been cooking since I was age 3. Now, instead of home-style cooking, I like to try new recipes..particularly ethnic to other cultures.
