Method

Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped green onions, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Coleslaw

    Mix the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage and shredded carrots.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  3. 7

    Combine Slaw and Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots. Toss well to combine, ensuring all vegetables are coated.

  4. 8

    Chill

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

Louis Sauce

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, and salt. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
