Crab Cakes

Method

Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, and bread crumbs. Gently mix to avoid breaking the crab meat.

  2. 2

    Season

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

  3. 3

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.

  4. 4

    Chill the Patties

    Place the crab cakes on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.

  5. 5

    Broil the Crab Cakes

    Preheat your broiler. Melt the butter and brush it over the tops of the crab cakes. Place the patties under the broiler for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Sides Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Corn

    Boil water in a large pot. Add the fresh corn on the cob and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove and set aside.

  2. 7

    Make the Coleslaw

    In a bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the coleslaw is evenly coated.

Plating

  1. 8

    Serve

    On a large platter, place the broiled crab cakes alongside the fresh corn on the cob and a generous serving of coleslaw.
