Carnival Brands Creole Crab Cakes

There's one frozen-food case at Zuppardo's grocery on Veterans, right by the cold cuts and hot dogs, that has a bunch of specialty frozen items from local/regional companies. It's an interesting selection of items, and these caught my eye:



I'm always on the lookout for good frozen-food items, because, like many families, we're running around with school actitities, music lessons, and Boy Scouts.

Directions were to either pan-saute for 3 minutes on either side or to pop them into the oven for 15 minutes. Keeping with the notion of making this easy, I put them in the oven; no frying pan to clean.

The package also had a small seasoning packet to use for a sauce. The instructions said add some water to the seasoning:

After 15 minutes they were indeed ready:



Taste was pretty good, not too spicy, but not bland, either.

Carnival Brands is on the web, and these (and other items) can be ordered from them.
