In a medium bowl, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, cracker crumbs, mayonnaise, egg, jalapeño pepper, shallot, garlic, cilantro, mustard, and cayenne; stir to combine. Gently fold in the crab meat — do not over mix or break up the crab lumps. Shape into 20 mini crab cakes using a slightly rounded tablespoon as a measure. Place shaped crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in the MultiClad Skillet over medium high heat. When bubbly, add 10 crab cakes and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until crispy and browned. To serve, place a crab cake on a chip and garnish with a small dollop of salsa and/or guacamole.
