One of our favorite quick week-night dinners is Oregon Shrimp or Crab Cakes from Whole Foods paired with a great sauce and salad. They use only MSC certified fish so they are delicious and sustainably raised. Many specialty grocers carry other versions as well. They key for any crab cakes is the sauce and this Dunn family original is fantastic.
3/4 cup good mayonnaise
12oz jar roasted red bell peppers
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 - 1 tsp Secret Aardvark habanero hot sauce (plus more to taste)
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Dash Salt
Dash Pepper
Add all ingredients in a blender then mix until well blended. Start here as you can always adjust seasonings to taste later. Aardvark sauce is sold in many specialty markets near the sauces. We make our sauce on the mild-medium spectrum then let guests add more if they prefer more heat. You can also use freshly roasted peppers and start with 1 1/2 cups then adjust to taste.
Pairs extraordinarily well with a dry reisling or chardonnay. Gin & Tonics are great too!
