03 Method

Step 1

If the crab meat is watery, line a fine-mesh strainer with paper towels, fill it with the crab meat and let it drain for 30 minutes. Pat the crab meat with fresh paper towels and try to drain/soak up as much of the water as possible.
Step 2

Mix together the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, and scallions. Add the crab meat and the breadcrumbs and gently combine. Chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.
Step 3

When you are ready to cook the crab cakes, divide the crab meat mixture into 8 parts. Shape each into a cake and lightly dredge with flour. The crab cakes will be soft, so handle them gently. Place each dredged cake onto a plate to rest while the oil heats.
Step 4

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully slide the crab cakes into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the cakes are crispy and golden brown. Remove the cakes to a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 5

To make the sauce: The sauce can be made any time while the crab meat mixture is resting. Have the sauce ready before cooking the crab cakes.
Step 6

Bring the cream, roasted red peppers, and garlic to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Simmer for 7-8 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then pour the cream mixture into a blender; add the paprika, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Puree until smooth. Set the sauce aside until the crab cakes are done.
