Crab Cakes with Spicy Mayo

I absolutely LOVE Crab Cakes! I would usually only have them once in a while whenever my husband and I went out to dinner. Now that I've created a gluten free version, I may have to make them more! These are so easy to make and they are packed with so much flavor! They're surprisingly filling too and make a great weeknight meal paired with a salad. The spicy mayo gives it a nice little kick too! I hope you enjoy these as much as we do.
