Cajun Crawfish Crab Cakes With Spicy Red Pepper Sauce

---

This is an adaption of a south beach recipe. The features that make it a healthier and lower carb recipe are still in place, but i've added a cajun twist to it. The result is a delicious crawfish patty with a tasty, spicy red pepper sauce. The original recipe calls for crab and it is just as tasty.
