How to make Crab Cake Pasta Salad
Bring water to a boil according to instructions. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of crab boil and pasta. Cook as directed. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water, and set aside in a large bowl to cool.
Sauté garlic and shallot in a small pan with about a teaspoon of oil or butter for 3 minutes on low heat. *Deglaze with a splash of white wine. Add to cooling pasta.
To the pasta add peppers, celery and parsley and stir to combine.
Whisk together equal parts Remoulade sauce and mayo. Add a bit of pasta water to loosen if necessary. Season with Cajun seasoning to taste. Stir into pasta mixture.
Gently fold crab into pasta salad and chill for 10-15 minutes in the fridge. At this point you could add more seasoning if you want it spicier.
When ready to serve, place in a bowl and sprinkle toasted bread crumbs and chopped chives.
* White wine can be left out entirely based on preference.
