Time 20m

Yield Twelve servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound lump crab meat, picked over for shells
2 cups cooked Basmati rice, cold
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
About 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, gently combine the crab meat, rice, jalapenos, lemon zest, basil and mint. Carefully stir in the salt, pepper, eggs and bread crumbs, breaking up the crab meat as little as possible. Using 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time, press into cakes that are a scant 2 inches in diameter.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the crab cakes until nicely browned and firm, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Add more oil to the skillet as needed between batches. Serve hot.

The crab cakes were too oily for my taste. I think they would have been better if I had baked them instead of frying them.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

I baked these crab cakes instead of frying them to make them a bit healthier. They were still delicious and crispy.

I added some chopped green onions and red peppers to the crab cakes for extra flavor and color. They looked and tasted amazing!

I'm allergic to gluten, so I used almond flour instead of breadcrumbs. It worked perfectly! These crab cakes were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I was looking for a more affordable version of this recipe, so I used imitation crab meat instead of fresh crab. It turned out great! You can't even tell the difference.

I love spicy food, so I doubled the amount of chili peppers in the recipe. It was the perfect level of heat for me, but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart!
