LOW CARB KEY WEST CRAB CAKES WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix all ingredients, except oil and Mustard Sauce until blended. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. With a tablespoon, carefully spoon poker-chip size mini-cakes into the pan. (The batter will be very loose since there are no bread crumbs, but once the egg in the mix starts to cook they will hold together fine.) Cook on 1 side until firm, about 2 minutes, and then flip and cook for about 1 more minute. Cook in batches as necessary. Serve hot with mustard sauce.
• Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Add shrimp, lime juice, eggs, mustard, bread, crumbs, cream, salt and pepper to food processor bowl and pulse 3 or 4 times until ingredients are just mixed and shrimp are very coarsely chopped. Form the mixture into 10 patties (about 1/4 cup of mixture for each patty). Fry in 1 inch of olive oil until golden on both sides. Place on a platter and keep warm in a low temperature oven. Make the Cream Sauce: Pour tequila in a deep saucepan. Place over medium heat and warm; do not boil. Remove pan from heat and place on cold burner. Carefully, with a long lighter (like the ones used to light grills), light the tequila and let it burn out. Place pan back on heat and pour in the cream. Let cream boil until reduced by half. Stir with a whisk to keep it from burning. When reduced, remove fan from heat and whisk in the 4 tablespoons of butter one at a time. Serve immediately with Shrimp Cakes
