Crab Cake Preparation
- 1
Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix with your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are well incorporated, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Shape the Cakes
Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to form the mixture into patties, about 3 to 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the shaped crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill
Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

Cook the Crab Cakes
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
