Who knew you could buy delicious fresh crab meat at the grocery store? I definitely didn't until I was cruising Pinterest and stumbled upon this delight. Delicious and really simple to make - I put my own twist on these to lighten it up and add a little more natural flavor...the crab meat is so flavorful that I didn't want to add too much seasoning as it might take away from the crabiliciousness.
What you will need:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (I used more but I am a bit of a lemon-head.)
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- a sprinkle of cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 chopped parsley (dried is ok)
- 1 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 lbs crabmeat
- 1/2 cup of flour (to coat crab cakes)
- 2 cups vegetable oil (to fry the crab cakes)
Let's Get Cooking!
- Mix all ingredients together (except the flour) in a large mixing bowl.
- Heat oil for a couple of minutes on medium high heat until hot, you can test by spraying some water from your fingertips into the oil - it should spatter and pop.
- While oil is heating, shape mixture into palm sized cakes.
- Fry cakes until golden brown on each side - should only take a few minutes.
Should make 6 cakes! Serve over a bed of greens with hot sauce on the side and plenty of lemon.
Enjoy!
