Honestly, lump crab is not always readily available or affordable, but I can’t go for long stretches without having a crab cake. Besides, these crab cakes are low fat and not loaded with carbohydrates. This recipe is very simple and so very delicious.
Crab Cakes Melt In Your Mouth
extremely fine chopped lemon zest,
extremely fine chopped onion
garlic
extremely fine chopped bell pepper
minced parsley
Old Bay Seasoning
black pepper
salt
real mayonnaise
egg
Worcestershire Sauce
Almost done!
Add the drain crab meat and fresh bread crumbs
Combine and mix to combine and refrigerate 4 hours.
Form into 3-5 thick disks.
I didn’t want to add extra bread and carbohydrates, so I didn’t
coat the disks in crunch crumbs.
In a frying pan, gently cook in olive oil about 2 minutes each side or until golden, crunchy brown.
If using fresh crab meat, transfer to a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes to finish fully cooking.
When one side browns, it is so hard to wait for the other side to brown!!
It only takes a few minutes.
Moist.
Delicious.
Tender.
