Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, fresh parsley, and beaten egg. Gently fold in the ingredients to ensure the crab meat remains intact.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Once the mixture is well combined, shape it into patties, about 1 inch thick. Roll the patties in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Crab Cakes

    Carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Cajun Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, Cajun seasoning, and lemon juice until smooth.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the crab cakes, top with additional lump crab meat if desired, and drizzle with the creamy Cajun sauce.
