Green Onions 2, chopped
Dijon Mustard 1 tablespoon
Worcestershire Sauce 1 tablespoon
Old Bay Seasoning 1 teaspoon

Take note
Be careful while handling the crab meat as it can be delicate and prone to breaking apart. Also, keep in mind that excessive handling of the mixture can make the crab cakes dense and less enjoyable.

1

Prepare the Crab Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of fresh crab meat (picked clean of any shells), 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of Panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of finely chopped red bell pepper, 2 green onions (chopped), 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Gently fold the mixture together until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2

Shape the Crab Cakes

Using your hands, divide the crab mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties. Aim for approximately 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches in diameter. Place the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm them up.

3

Cook the Crab Cakes

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the crab cakes into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as it can make flipping the crab cakes tricky. Cook in batches if needed.

4

Serve and Enjoy!

Once the crab cakes are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. You can serve them with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a dollop of tartar sauce, or your favorite seafood dipping sauce. These crab cakes are best enjoyed immediately, so gather your friends and family and savor every crispy bite!
