Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot smoked paprika, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add Crab and Bind

    Gently fold in the jumbo lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, and chopped parsley. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much. Mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

  5. 5

    Cook the Cakes

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.
