Crab Cakes

Spicy Remoulade

Method

Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and egg. Mix gently to combine without breaking up the crab meat.

  2. 2

    Add Seasonings and Bind

    Add the chopped green onions, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate or baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Chill the Cakes

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

  5. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes in batches. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Spicy Remoulade

  1. 6

    Prepare the Remoulade

    In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the crab cakes hot with a generous dollop of spicy remoulade on the side.
