"How could you not have a good time eating crab cakes?"

A few weeks ago I really wanted crab cakes b/c Whole Foods makes some really great ones and they have this great remoulade sauce to go with them.  However, if you recall, they were sold out and couldn't find a crab dealer so they didn't know when they would have crab cakes again.  Fortunately for me, the crab cakes have returned! I picked up 2 along with some fresh husks of corn for dinner Wednesday night.

For the crab cakes, I simply placed them in the pan with some olive oil and cooked them through until hot in the center.  This took about 20 minutes.  

For the corn, I husked them first.  Then placed each ear in some aluminum foil.  Then put some butter, salt, and pepper in the foil and wrapped them up tightly so the butter wouldn't leak out.  I then placed them on the grill and cooked them for about 30 minutes, turning them every 10 minutes for even cooking.  

 I think the corn came out nicely in color and doneness.

Once everything was done, we had some leftover potato salad from Memorial Day and so we each got some spoonfuls of that, along with a cup of remoulade sauce.  

The corn was incredibly sweet and turned out very well.  The crab cakes, although looking dark, were actually cooked really well and the remoulade sauce was a perfect touch.  The sauce is a little spicy, with a hint of horseradish and worked really well with the sweetness of the corn and the crab.  I really hope that Whole Foods never runs out of crab again because these are such an easy and quick dinner fix.
