Crab Cakes

Spicy Remoulade

Method

Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and egg. Mix gently to combine without breaking up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Add Dry Ingredients

    Add the bread crumbs, chopped green onions, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until everything is well combined.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  4. 4

    Form the Cakes

    After chilling, remove the mixture from the refrigerator and form it into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.

  5. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes in batches and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Spicy Remoulade Preparation

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, lemon juice, paprika, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and well mixed.

  2. 7

    Chill the Sauce

    Cover and refrigerate the remoulade for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
