Method

Mini Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, bread crumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form Crab Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate or baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Cover the crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.

Cooking Crab Cakes

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Fry Crab Cakes

    Carefully place the crab cakes in the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain

    Once cooked, remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Remoulade Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Mix Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped capers, lemon juice, hot sauce, and paprika. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the mini crab cakes warm with a side of remoulade sauce and lemon wedges.
