Crab Cakes

Method

Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, finely chopped green onions, bread crumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently until well combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.

  4. 4

    Cook

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the crab cakes, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Spicy Remoulade Preparation

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, horseradish, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

  2. 6

    Chill

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
