Ingredients for Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes

Method

Directions for Preparing Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, gently mix together the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, and egg until just combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Add Bread Crumbs

    Fold in the bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper into the crab mixture until everything is evenly incorporated.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Form the mixture into patties, about 4-5 inches in diameter. You should have about 6-8 crab cakes.

  4. 4

    Chill the Cakes

    Place the crab cakes on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  5. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, gently place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crab cakes over a bed of arugula, garnished with lemon wedges on the side.
