Now add shrimp to these babies and you’ve just created a seafood masterpiece.

Think about it people?

Lots of diced shrimp, buttery crackers, chopped fresh veggies, and crab meat!

This is the top of the food chain of good eating!

Secondly, I am excited about starting my vacation today!

It’s been a rough year for me and I need a break.

I’m gonna take some time off to relax and focus on myself.

I just want to swim, eat good food, and chill out!

These crab cakes are the perfect meal to kick off my vacation.

I think I’m going on a seafood binge while on vacation?

I am about to eat up all of the fish and shrimp from the resort!

I enjoy seafood because it’s light and I don’t have to worry about feeling lethargic afterwards.

It’s over 105 degrees out here so I don’t want to eat any heavy foods.

Well, it’s time to make these quick and easy seafood cakes.

Don’t forget the hot mayo to top them with.

Enjoy!
