Categories     Fry

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound crabmeat, picked free of shells
1/3 cup crushed crackers (recommended: Ritz)
3 green onions (green and white parts), finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
Dash cayenne pepper
Flour, for dusting
1/2 cup peanut oil
Favorite dipping sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients, except for the flour and peanut oil. Shape into patties and dust with flour. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, carefully place crab cakes, in batches, in pan and fry until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip crab cakes and fry on other side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Serve warm with preferred sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat will yield the best results in terms of flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the crab cakes: Overmixing the crab cakes will make them tough. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
  • Cook the crab cakes over medium heat: Cooking the crab cakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the crab cakes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce: Crab cakes can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.
