Remoulade Sauce

Method

Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat.

  2. 2

    Form Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.
