Spicy "Krab Kakes"

Spicy "Krab Kakes" - for those of you who are not able to eat shell-fish, this dish is a great replacement for traditional crab cakes. Packed with tons of flavor and spice, these may be your go-to cakes for dinners, parties and anything in-between. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
- 1 lb. package "imitation crab meat"
- 1/4 onion,
- 1/4 orange bell pepper
- 1/4 red bell pepper
- 1/4 yellow bell pepper
- 1 cerrano pepper
- 1 habanero pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Shiracha Sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- vegetable oil

To Make:

Combine onion, all bell peppers, cerrano and habanero pepper, salt, pepper, shiracha, garlic powder, honey and hot sauce in a food processor. Pulse 6-7 times while adding the olive oil slowly through the top.

Next, add in the "crab meat" and pulse another 4 times. Remove mixture from food processor. Stir in one egg and panko crumbs.

Heat a large skillet and fill with 1 cup vegetable oil. Form the cakes with your hands, pressing firmly together making them about 3 inches around.

Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then drain.

I served these with Yucca fries and salad. Enjoy!
