Instructions
- In a small blender (or magic bullet) puree mayonnaise, lime juice, roasted pepper and chipotle pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine crushed crackers, eggs, scallions, pepper, mayo, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
- Mix well, then fold in crab meat, careful not to over mix so the crab remains in large chunks.

- Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a baking sheet with oil spray.
- Bake about 8 to 10 minutes on each side, until browned.
- Drizzle red pepper chipotle lime sauce over crab cakes and serve.
