Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large egg
1/4 cup (60g) mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 2 teaspoons dried)
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (up to 1 and 1/2 teaspoons for a spicier kick)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, plus more for serving
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pound fresh lump crab meat*
2/3 cup (41g) Saltine cracker crumbs (about 14 crackers)
optional: 2 Tablespoons (30g) melted salted or unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Whisk the egg, mayonnaise, parsley, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, lemon juice, and salt together in a large bowl. Place the crab meat on top, followed by the cracker crumbs. With a rubber spatula or large spoon, very gently and carefully fold together. You don't want to break up that crab meat!
  • Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Generously grease a rimmed baking sheet with butter or nonstick spray or line with a silicone baking mat.
  • Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, portion the crab cake mixture into 6 mounds on the baking sheet. (Don't flatten!) Use your hands or a spoon to compact each individual mound so there aren't any lumps sticking out or falling apart. For extra flavor, brush each with melted butter. This is optional but recommended!
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges and on top. Drizzle each with fresh lemon juice and serve warm.
  • Cover leftover crab cakes tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

JUMBO LUMP BLUE CRAB CAKES

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds jumbo lump blue crabmeat
1/2 cup mayonnaise or homemade aioli
4 teaspoons seafood seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
6 scallions, finely chopped, about 3/4 of the green part
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 large eggs
Salt and pepper
3 to 6 tablespoons fine bread crumbs (use just enough to help the cakes start to bind)
Canola-olive oil blend
Cocktail Sauce, recipe follows, for serving
Flavored aioli, for serving, optional
1 quart ketchup
2 tablespoons horseradish
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
Pinch cayenne
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Pick over the crabmeat to remove any shells. Be gentle, as the lumps of crab are delicate and will fall apart. Set aside. Mix together the mayonnaise, seafood seasoning, scallions, basil, eggs, and salt and pepper. Pour mixture over the crabmeat and with your hands gently mix together. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the crab mixture and continue to mix. Divide the mixture into 4 parts and mold the cakes with your hands (do not rinse off you hands between mixing and forming the cakes, as it is mixture on your hands that help the cakes stay together).
  • Refrigerate the cakes for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Paint the crab cakes with a minuscule amount of oil and sear in a hot oven-safe skillet or on a griddle top until lightly golden brown on both sides. The cakes have such little binder that you need to be careful when flipping them over so that they don't fall apart. Place the pan in the oven for about 5 minutes, or to heat through.
  • Serve with a red Cocktail Sauce and/or a flavored aioli.
  • Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

JUMBO LUMP CRAB CAKES



Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes image

I got this recipe from chef Jimmy Sneed when he had his Frog & The Redneck restaurant in Richmond, VA. Fantastic. Sometimes less is best, and with this recipe, the crab meat takes center stage. I serve them with a flavorful rice and a fresh vegetable and fruit compote on the side. If you want to serve these as appetizers, make more patties and watch the cooking time so that you don't overbake and dry them out.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Crab Meat: Use fresh or frozen jumbo lump crab meat for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using crab meat that is too finely shredded or flaked, as this will result in a less cohesive crab cake.
  • Use Plenty of Seasonings: Don't be afraid to season your crab cakes generously. Old Bay seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper are all essential seasonings for crab cakes.
  • Don't Overmix the Crab Cakes: Overmixing the crab cakes will make them tough and dense. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Form the Crab Cakes Gently: Use your hands to gently form the crab cakes into patties. Be careful not to pack the crab cakes too tightly, as this will also make them tough.
  • Cook the Crab Cakes Over Medium Heat: Cook the crab cakes over medium heat so that they have a chance to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the Crab Cakes with Your Favorite Sides: Crab cakes can be served with a variety of sides, such as tartar sauce, lemon wedges, coleslaw, or french fries.

Jumbo lump crab cakes are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any special occasion. By following these tips, you can make perfect crab cakes that your friends and family will love. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give these jumbo lump crab cakes a try!
