1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Add 1 cup to the crab mixture., Shape 1/4 cupfuls of crab mixture into patties. Coat both sides of patties with remaining bread crumbs, pressing to adhere. Place on a baking sheet; cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours., Meanwhile, for sauce, in a blender, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, lemon juice, red pepper, onions, shallots, parsley, salt and pepper; cover and process until finely chopped. Refrigerate until serving., In a large skillet, melt half of the butter and half of the oil. Place half of the crab cakes in skillet. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned (carefully turn the delicate cakes over). Repeat with remaining butter, oil and crab cakes. Serve with sauce and lemon wedges.

I'm allergic to seafood, so I made these crab cakes with imitation crab meat. They were still really good!

These crab cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more mayonnaise next time.

The crab cakes were delicious, but the red pepper sauce was a bit too spicy for me. I'll try making it with less red pepper next time.

The crab cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more Old Bay seasoning next time.
