Never skip on your protein. Seafood is a good source of protein and low in calories. This recipe cuts the carbs and fats from regular crab cakes but with all the taste.
INGREDIENTS:
1 slightly beaten egg
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons reduced-calorie mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 pound crabmeat, drained, flaked, and cartilage removed
1/3 cup finely crushed saltine crackers
Nonstick spray coating
1 medium tomato, sliced
Lemon wedges (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
In a medium mixing bowl combine egg, 1/4 cup of the yogurt, mayonnaise or salad dressing, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika, and pepper. Stir in crabmeat and crushed crackers. Shape crab mixture into five 3-inch patties.
Spray a shallow baking pan with nonstick spray coating. Arrange patties in pan. Broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat for 10 to 15 minutes or till lightly browned. Do not turn patties during broiling.
