Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Season the Mixture

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.

  3. 3

    Shape the Crab Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 3-4 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Coat the Crab Cakes

    In a shallow dish, spread the panko breadcrumbs. Carefully coat each crab cake in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm with lemon wedges and extra mayonnaise, if desired.
