Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a large bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crabmeat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, black pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to break up the crabmeat too much.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Using your hands, form the crab mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate or 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 hold their shape while cooking.

  4. 4

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable 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 and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with white remoulade sauce on the side.
