The recipe they use for their famous crab cakes is a closely guarded secret, but we've managed to get our hands on it just for you. This recipe is simple, yet produces the most flavorful and succulent crab cakes you'll ever taste.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound jumbo lump crab meat
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, and scallions. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
- Gently fold in the crab meat and breadcrumbs. Be careful not to overmix the ingredients, as this will make the crab cakes tough.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 1/2 cup each. You can use a measuring cup to make sure each patty is the same size.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and the oil is hot, add the crab cakes to the skillet.
- Cook the crab cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Be careful not to overcook them, as this will make them dry and less flavorful.
- Once the crab cakes are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
- Serve the crab cakes hot, with a side of tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and your favorite side dishes.
Helpful Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality crab meat for the best flavor and texture.
- Be gentle when mixing the ingredients, as overmixing will result in tough crab cakes.
- Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the crab cakes to ensure a crispy, golden-brown crust.
