For the Crab Cakes

Method

To Prepare the Crab Cakes

1

Prepare the Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the lump crabmeat, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, green onions, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the mixture until well combined, being careful not to break the crab meat too much.

2

Form the Cakes

Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

3

Fry the Cakes

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

4

Serve

Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with garlic-lime butter (see below for the recipe).
