Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Bread crumbs
- 1 cup
- Egg
- 1, beaten
- Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon
- Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon
- Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon
- Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup
- Jonah crab meat
- 1 pound, picked over for shells
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jonah crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, finely chopped parsley, and the beaten egg. Stir until well mixed.
- Gradually add in the bread crumbs, stirring until the mixture binds together. If the mixture is too loose, add a bit more bread crumbs.
- Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. Each patty should be about a half-inch thick.
- Heat the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it melts and begins to foam.
- Add the crab cakes to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the Jonah crab cakes hot. They pair wonderfully with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or a simple green salad.
Tips
- For an added crunch, you can coat the crab cakes in extra bread crumbs before frying.
- If you can't find Jonah crab meat, any other type of crab meat can be substituted.
