INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

CRAB MEAT:

• You can use crab meat, which will give it a delicate texture and sweet flavor. We can substitute chopped shrimp, actual canned crab, or diced firm white fish.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• We utilize the almond flour, as it will deliver a tender and moist texture. It gives these crab cakes a structure. We can replace it with flaxseed meal or sunflower seed flour.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

• These crab cakes have a salty texture and an umami flavor thanks to the Parmesan cheese. Pecorino Romano can be utilized instead.

MAYONNAISE:

• Utilize the mayonnaise to give the dish a silky and creamy texture. You might also utilize avocado oil mayo or egg mayonnaise.

DIJON MUSTARD:

• You can use Dijon mustard to add tartness and acidity.  You can also use spicy brown mustard, yellow mustard, or horseradish mustard.

WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE:

• Utilize Worcestershire sauce for a rich and savory flavor. As an alternative, we may utilize coconut aminos, a sugar-free Worcestershire sauce, or a little apple cider vinegar.

TIPS:

• Avoid crowding the pan too much during frying.

• Gently coat the exterior surface with crushed pork rinds to make a crispier texture.
• We utilize a lump crab meat to get a real seafood flavor and the perfect texture.
