Crab Cakes

Remoulade Sauce

Method

Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and egg. Gently fold the mixture to avoid breaking up the crab meat.

  2. 2

    Add the Fillers

    Add the bread crumbs and chopped green onions to the crab mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab mixture for at least 30 minutes to help it firm up.

  4. 4

    Form the Cakes

    Once chilled, take the mixture and form it into patties, about 1 inch thick and 3 inches in diameter.

  5. 5

    Cook the Cakes

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the crab cakes to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.

Remoulade Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped capers, lemon juice, and paprika. Stir until well combined.

  2. 7

    Adjust Seasoning

    Add hot sauce to taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
