DELICIOUS CRAB CAKES



Delicious Crab Cakes image

You may use imitation crab in place of the fresh crabmeat due to cost reasons, I have made these using imitation and it was still wonderful --- I have listed a honey-mustard sauce on the bottom to serve with the crab cakes if desired but these are just as good served alone! --- plan ahead there is a 1 hour freezing time.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
20 butter crackers, such as Ritz, crushed (about 2 1/2 cups crumbs)
1 pound fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, picked for shells
Vegetable oil, for frying
Remoulade, recipe follows
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Mix together the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and seafood seasoning in a bowl. Fold in the cracker crumbs and crabmeat until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab too much. Shape the mixture into six 2- to 2 1/2-inch patties, trying to make straight sides and flat bottoms. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add cakes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the crab cakes to a plate or platter and repeat with the remaining crab cakes, adding more oil if needed. Hold in the warm oven until ready to serve. Serve warm with remoulade.
  • Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, horseradish, lemon juice and chives in a bowl until combined.

CRAB CAKES WITH LIME SAUCE

Can't remember where I got this; an addition to a magazine. It is very good. Not a traditional Crab Cake maybe but very tasty and very EASY. The Zaar format didn't recognize just an envelope of salad dressing mix but I am referring to one of the small envelopes about 1/4 ounce
