Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound of lump crabmeat
- 1/3 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup of chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup of chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently pick through 1 pound of lump crabmeat to remove any shells or cartilage.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of chopped parsley, 1/4 cup of chopped green onions, 1/2 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Gently fold the crabmeat into the mixture, being careful not to break up the crabmeat too much.
- Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
- Transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the crab cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of lemon.
Crab cakes have a rich history dating back to the early 19th century, originating in the Chesapeake Bay region of the United States. This iconic dish features succulent crab meat mixed with breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, and seasonings, then pan-fried to golden perfection. Renowned chefs like John Shields of Gertrude's in Baltimore and the late Edna Lewis have elevated the crab cake to gourmet status, while Maryland and Virginia remain famous for their versions. The key to a perfect crab cake lies in using high-quality crab meat and the right blend of spices. For a twist, some chefs opt for broiling instead of frying. Today, the best crab cakes can be found in waterfront restaurants along the East Coast.
