Health and fertility benefits of Crunchy Crab Cake Spiders

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

1 lb lump crabmeat, picked free of shells
1 cup minced red bell pepper, plus a few thin strips, for garnish
1/2 cup green onion, minced
1/4 cup water chestnuts, minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon wasabi powder
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for sauce
1 cup saltine crackers, crushed (or soda crackers)
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup mayonnaise, plus two tablespoons
1 tablespoon paprika

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, bell pepper, green onions and water chestnuts. Add the egg, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, lemon juice, wasabi powder, salt and pepper, and stir gently to combine. Gently stir in the crushed crackers. Form the mixture into 12 equal patties.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 6 crab cakes, and cook until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat the process with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remaining 6 crab cakes. Arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with red bell pepper strips to make spider legs, if desired. Serve immediately with the Mayonnaise Sauce.
