Thai Crab Cakes



These are Absolutely Delicious!!!

There is hardly any filler so full of crab meat, they are moist on the inside and crispy on the outside, light and zingy to the taste. Delicious served with syn free chips and a mixed salad.
They are also FREE on extra easy, if you use your healthy extra B.
