Now I can not say for sure, but I feel like I never realized how popular Crab Cakes were until I moved to the south. So I don’t know if I missed the memo, or the Southerns enjoy Crab Cakes more than the Northerners. Regardless, I really feel like my Grilled Crab Cake recipe is awesome and I want to share it with you. This dish is perfect if you are cooking dinner for that special someone for maybe a birthday, anniversary or a Wednesday. The easy prep, and big flavors will certainly have you in their good graces. The grilled Crab Cakes paired with the creamy Cajun remoulade and the acidity and crunch from the cucumber pico will have thinking you are a 5 star chef.
