Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, green onions, red bell pepper, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Be careful not to overmix to keep the crab meat in large chunks for a juicy texture.
-
Form the mixture into 8-10 evenly sized patties, shaping them with your hands. Place the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
-
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and the oil is hot but not smoking. Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
-
Cook the crab cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Gently flip them using a spatula to ensure even cooking.
-
Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the crab cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of lemon for a refreshing touch.
-
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning for extra flavor and visual appeal. These crab cakes are best enjoyed fresh and hot, so be sure to serve them right away to savor their delicious flavors.
