1/2 cup(s) green pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup(s) celery, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon(s) seafood seasoning, i use essence or old bay

2 tablespoon(s) green onion, finely chopped
1 pound(s) lump crab meat, picked clean

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add onions, bell pepper, celery, seafood seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add parsley and green onions, cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, cool slightly.
  • Place crabmeat in medium bowl and add cooked vegetables. Add the mayonnaise and breadcrumbs. Stir gently.
  • Shape into cakes, should make about 12. You can make them smaller for appetizers. At this point I refrigerate them for a little while to firm up, or you can freeze them and thaw and bake them later.
  • Bake on a cookie sheet in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes, until they are golden.
  • Serve with lemon slices or your favorite seafood sauce.
