Crab Cakes

Method

Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the crab mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Chill the Patties

    Place the formed patties on a plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

  4. 4

    Grill the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Red Pepper Mayonnaise Preparation

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, roasted red bell pepper, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

  2. 6

    Chill

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
