Hi there. I was mentioning what a treat these crab cakes my husband made are, so I thought I'd post them. I haven't calculated out the exact points per because it depends on proportions you use, but the ones I had worked out to 2 points a piece. Also he used canned crab because we're in Ontario--no easy, inexpensive source of fresh!

Here is the recipe, straight from the cook:
"Well, crab cakes aren't too fattening (I don't think, anyway...)..but some
sources of fat that I didn't use would be lots of mayonaise (or other
oil)... I tried to minimize the amount of mayonaise. Also, you usually fry
in lots of butter, I used pam

2 cans of crab meat
some dill
some cayenne
some green onion
add a little ( 1-1/2 tb) light mayo
mix; keep adding breadcrumbs for body until the mixture is fairly dry but
sticking together.

Make into cakes, refrigerate for about 15mins to get them more cohesive."

I would also suggest adding in some jalapeno too, but then I add jalapeno to anything and everything (jalapeno sauce is delicious on popcorn!)

Does anyone else have a great recipe for crab cakes? Maybe one with actual measurements? DH does all his cooking by instinct--almost no measuring.

artificial crab = 3 oz for 2 pts
shrimp = 2 oz for 1 pt

doesn't really affect the points much!

This sounds really good. I love ranch/bacon salad and I'm starting the WW at home once I get my kit. I'm book-marking this one.

This was so good. I also didn't realize how much food was in a cup serving. I had two cups for lunch ( I also added onion and a salad blend of vegetables cut in strips). It was so much food I should have had it for dinner. I ate it with the Lay's Light Ruffles, only 1 pt for 17! What a great meal all for 5 points.
