My All Time Favorite Crab Cakes Recipe 445

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over high heat. Saute green onions briefly until tender; cool slightly.
• Combine crabmeat, sauteed green onions, egg, mayonnaise, dry mustard, crushed crackers, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt and pepper. Form into 1/2 inch thick patties. Coat the patties with bread crumbs.
• Heat 1/2 cup oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook cakes until golden brown on each side. Drain briefly on paper towels and serve hot.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except crab and Ritz Crackers. Fold into crab meat. Crush Ritz Crackers and gently fold into crab mixture. Pat into crab crakes and deep fry, pan fry or broil until golden brown. NOTES: Refrigerate crab cakes for one hour before frying or broiling to help reduce separation during cooking. Using 3.5 inch diameter by 1 inch deep cooking rings is an alternative to refrigerating the crab cakes before cooking ...they work great. Go first class and use jumbo lump crab meat rather than back fin ...or use a mixture of both.

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Lightly grease a broiler pan or baking sheet.
• Shred crabmeat and place in a medium bowl with bread crumbs and parsley. Mix together and season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk egg, mayonnaise, green onion, dry mustard, and hot pepper sauce together in a small bowl. Add to crabmeat mixture and mix well. Form into 6 patties and place on the prepared pan. Brush tops with melted butter.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until lightly browned and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
