Crab Cakes

Holy Trinity

Lobster Cream

Method

Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and the egg. Mix gently to avoid breaking the crab meat.

  2. 2

    Add Breadcrumbs

    Fold in the panko breadcrumbs to the crab mixture until well incorporated.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate or tray.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

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

Andouille Weisenberger Grits

  1. 5

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the Weisenberger grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until thickened.

  2. 6

    Add Cream and Sausage

    Stir in the heavy cream, diced Andouille sausage, cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sausage is heated through.

Holy Trinity

  1. 7

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a separate skillet, sauté the diced bell pepper, onion, and celery over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Lobster Cream

  1. 8

    Prepare the Lobster Cream

    In a saucepan, combine the lobster stock and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and reduce slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the butter, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
