Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine crab meat, diced red and yellow bell peppers, minced jalapeño, cayenne pepper, mayonnaise, egg, bread crumbs, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Mix well

    Gently mix all ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Form the cakes

    Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into patties.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Cover the formed crab cakes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

  5. 5

    Cook the crab cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crab cakes hot with a side of mesclun salad and drizzle with cayenne citrus sauce.
