Time 15m

Yield 12 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large eggs, well beaten
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cup crushed Saltine crackers
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red hot pepper flakes
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley sprigs
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 pound crab meat, lump preferred, shell and cartilage removed
1/2 cup finely ground fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the eggs, celery, saltines, mayonnaise, mustard, Old Bay Seasoning, pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, scallions, salt and pepper, and blend well. Add the crab meat, folding it in lightly without breaking it up.
  • Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape them into hamburger-like patties. Dredge them lightly in the bread crumbs.
  • Heat approximately 2 tablespoons of the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Saute the crab cakes 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown, using the remaining 2 tablespoons oil if necessary. Drain on paper towels immediately. Serve the crab cakes with this French Creole-inspired remoulade sauce.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound small-size fresh crabmeat, such as special or claw
1 pound large-size fresh crabmeat, such as jumbo lump or backfin
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons), plus wedges, for serving
1 large egg
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup fine saltine crumbs (from about 30 crackers)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Tartar Sauce for Crab Cakes

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside. Keeping each pound of crabmeat separate, turn out onto paper towels; pick through to remove any shells or cartilage.
  • In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, egg, mustard, Old Bay, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Add crumbs and small-size crabmeat to mayonnaise mixture; stir well to combine. Gently fold in large-size crabmeat to mayonnaise mixture just until combined. Dividing evenly, form mixture into 8 cakes. To make ahead, see Cook's Notes.
  • Place cakes on prepared baking sheet; drizzle with melted butter. Broil until golden brown and warmed throughout, 12 to 15 minutes (move to lower shelf if tops brown too quickly). Serve with tarter sauce and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • For the freshest crab meat, buy live crabs and steam them yourself. If you're using frozen crab meat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing will make them tough.
  • Form the crab cakes into 2-inch patties. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Pan-fry the crab cakes over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as horseradish remoulade or tartar sauce.

Conclusion:

Maryland-style crab cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. With their combination of fresh crab meat, flavorful seasonings, and crispy coating, they're sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a seafood recipe that's both delicious and impressive, give these crab cakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
