Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Lump Crab Meat
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon or Creole Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
- 1/4 cup Green Onions
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, lightly beaten eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, green onions, and seasoning. Gently fold to keep the crab meat intact.
- Shape the mixture into 8 patties, about 1 inch thick. Place the patties on a parchment-lined tray, ensuring they have some space between them.
- Refrigerate the formed crab cakes for 15-30 minutes. This step is crucial as it helps them hold their shape while cooking.
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to achieve a perfectly crispy texture.
- Add 3-4 crab cakes to the skillet. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Continue this process until all the crab cakes are cooked.
- Transfer the cooked crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
