It's my favorite crab cake recipe. If you don’t overmix and don’t pack your mounds too tightly, you will experience pure, unadulterated crab cake heaven. They are simply delicious. 12 servings Ingredients: 1/4 cup Vegetable oil 1/2 cup Finely ground fresh bread crumbs 1 pound Crab meat, lump preferred, shell and cartilage removed 1/4 tsp.

03 Method

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl combine the eggs, celery, saltines, mayonnaise, mustard, seafood 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.
Step 2

Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape them into hamburger-like patties. Dredge them lightly in the bread crumbs.
Step 3

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.
