Goa Style: Blue Lump Crab Cake

 

We creatively served them on the bottom of a beautiful and colorful wine goblet, layered on the place setting below! The Pickled Mango Strawberry Salad with Watermelon Lime Vinaigrette is over the top and the perfect complement.

 

 

Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce: We recommend this brand only, there is a lot of Sweet Chili Sauce out there but they are mostly too spicy, this one has a little kick to it and is not too sweet. Works well just on its own as a dipping sauce or glaze for grilled fish.
