Spicy Mango Crab Cakes Recipe

 

On a beautiful Wednesday morning last week, I decided to run over to the farmer’s market. Farmer’s markets are like a nice stroll in a park for me, except you end up leaving with a bunch of delicious goodies.

During my visit to the market, I scored some wonderful fresh seafood and some gorgeous fruit. I got myself some crab meat and scallops that were literally right off the boat. That’s the nice thing about living close to the coast, lot’s of fresh seafood.

The second I got home with my bounty, crab cakes were on the menu for lunch. I wanted to brighten them with sweet mango and of course, if you’ve got sweet, there needs to be a kick of spicy!
