Crispy Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Cakes

    In a large bowl, combine lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Panko breadcrumbs, green onions, celery, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined. Form the mixture into patties.

  2. 2

    Fry the Crab Cakes

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crab cakes in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Spicy Sesame Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in sesame oil, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds. Cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined and slightly thickened.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Drizzle the spicy sesame butter sauce over the crispy crab cakes and serve hot.
