2 tablespoons butter

1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup finely chopped red pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon crab boil seasoning
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 cup plain panko bread crumbs
1 large egg
Hot sauce, to taste
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over to remove cartilage and shell fragments

  • In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, crab boil seasoning, fresh parsley, 1/2 cup of the panko and egg. Mix in cooked vegetables, hot sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add crabmeat and stir well.
  • Form crab cakes using about 2 tablespoons of crab mixture for each cake.. Flatten until they're about 3/4 inches high. Dip the cakes into the remaining panko.
  • Add oil to a large skillet over high heat. Add crab cakes and saute, flipping once, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve with Lemon Aioli.
  • In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
