Roughly chop the chilli with seeds left in along with the coriander and mint; add to the pineapple along with the zest and juice of the limes. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes. 2. To make the crab cakes, mix the chilli, coriander, white and brown crab meats. Add the Philadelphia with the lime zest, juice and grated garlic. Season well and add the breadcrumbs. If the mixture looks a little wet add more breadcrumbs. 3. Mould the mixture into 12 evenly sized balls and roll into little patties. Roll the crab cakes in the polenta or cornmeal, flatten and shallow fry until golden brown. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt, serve with the pineapple salsa and garnish with pea shoots.
