Crab Cakes
1 pound lump crab meat, picked thru for any shells
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup diced white onion
1/2 cup diced green pepper
1/2 cup diced celery
1 cup mayo
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch kosher salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups crushed saltine crackers
Smoked Aioli
1/2 cup mayo
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon red chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro
juice from 1/2 of a lemon
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

1
Combine the crabmeat, corn, onion, pepper, and celery and toss well.
2
In another bowl, combine the mayo with the mustard, pepper and salt. Then using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the egg and 1/4 cup of the cracker crumbs.
3
Form crab cakes (I try to keep them small as they are easier to turn when cooking) into a small ball and carefully coat them with the remaining cracker crumbs.
4
Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes and up to two hours on a cookie sheet in the fridge.
5
Heat oil and butter in frying pan and cook crab cakes over medium heat till golden on each side and cooked through.
6
Combine mayo with garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, cilantro, and lemon juice.
7
With a whisk or fork, slowly mix in the olive oil until it is absorbed. Season to taste; add any more cumin or paprika or lemon juice as you desire.
8
Chill until ready to use.
