2 tbsp. unsalted butter

Directions
Combine crabmeat with ¼ cup Crunchmaster® Sea Salt Multi-Grain Salt Cracker crumbs, eggs, green onions, ¼ cup mayonnaise, lemon juice, 4 or 5 dashes of hot sauce, salt and pepper, mix well. Pour remaining cracker crumbs into a dinner plate or shallow bowl.

Serve the crab cakes with the creamy cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.
