Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roux

    In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk continuously until it turns a light golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Stir in Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.

  3. 3

    Add Crab Meat

    Fold in the lump crab meat and chopped green onions into the roux mixture. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Form the Chops

    Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, form it into patties or chops.

  5. 5

    Coat with Bread Crumbs

    Dredge each crab chop in bread crumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.

  6. 6

    Sauté the Chops

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the crab chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm and enjoy your crab chop!
