Notes
If you have a small cupcake pan (24 cupcakes) use that instead of baking sheet.
If you don't like spice, don't use Sriracha and 1 tsp. Under The Sea
If you like spice, add spicy peppers to Crab Cake mixture.
I get this blend as much as I possibly can. I put it on burgers, sure, but I’ve also found that it’s fantastic on other grilled meats as well. It just works and I can’t get enough!
