03 Method

Step 1

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan. Add the celery, bell pepper, scallion, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 7-8 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
Step 2

Add the mustard, egg white, worcestershire, and old bay to the vegetables, and mix well. Add the bread crumbs and mix again.
Step 3

Place the crab meat in a paper towel and gently squeeze to absorb excess moisture. This step prevents the crab cake from being heavy or soggy in the middle.
Step 4

Gently fold the crab meat into the vegetable mixture, making sure you don’t overstir the crab to the point where the morsels fall apart.
Step 5

Divide the crab mixture into 4 portions and shape them into patties, pressing them firmly.
Step 6

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat and add just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Fry the crab cakes on each side for about 2-3 minutes, until golden.
Step 7

Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
