Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, and chopped parsley. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Add Breadcrumbs

    Fold in the breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into 6-8 crab cakes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  5. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
