I Love Crab Cakes!!!
I really love any type of fish, but if I am at a restaurant and crab cakes are on the menu you can almost guarantee that I will order them. I will say that I sometimes get disappointed because they are made with too much bread and fillings and hardly any crab. That’s why this recipe that I am going to share is not only easy to make, but you will enjoy yummy crab in every bite.
Here is what you will need:
- 1 lb of lump crab meat
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon mayo
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 heaping teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- Juice of half a lemon
- small handful of chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons butter
Here is what you need to do:
Add all ingredients into bowl and gently mix together. Try your best not to break up the crab into tiny bits.
Form into patties. I made 6 patties for sandwiches, but you could also make them smaller to serve as an appetizer.
Next, just melt the butter and fry them up in a hot pan. I usually like to eat them with a lemon vinaigrette salad. Today we had sandwiches, so I am going to give you a quick tartar sauce recipe.
Here is what you will need:
- 1 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon sweet relish
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- salt and pepper to taste.
Just mix it all together and enjoy.
Hope you like it!!
