Ingredients

1 egg

2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (recommended: Old Bay Seasoning)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

1 teaspoon gingerroot juice or powder

1 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)

1 lemon, juiced

3 tablespoons grapeseed oil

1 pound lump crab, picked

All-purpose flour, for dusting

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the egg, seafood seasoning, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, ginger juice or powder, hot sauce, lemon juice, and oil. Add the crab and blend into the mixture, being careful not to break up the lumps of meat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. 
  2. Portion the crab into 2-ounce cakes and lightly dust with flour. Heat a skillet over medium heat with the oil. Add the cakes and saute until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the second side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat the process until all the cakes have been cooked.

These crab cakes turned out great however there were changes that needed to be made from the original recipe. I used 1 pound of crab meat and 3/4 cup of bread crumbs. I also used about 3/4 of the veggie mixture I sautéed. I left mixture covered in the fridge overnight and made mini crab cakes as an appetizer. They stayed together and came out excellent. Made about 33 mini crab cakes. I plan to dollop with a remoulade and sprinkle with chives for garnish for serving.
