Perfect Crab Cakes are super easy to make. Use real lump or imitation crab and put together a gourmet crab cake in under 15 minutes. No restaurant required!

Ingredients

1/4 cup sliced green onions for garnish
1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp. old bay seasoning
1 tsp. worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. mustard
1 large egg
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 pound lump crab meat

Method

01

Pick through crab meat and make sure there are no shells. Place into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
02

Stir in bread crumbs, mayo, egg, mustard, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, old bay, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.
03

Take about 1/4 cup of the crab mixture and shape into a patty. Repeat with remaining crab mixture. Spread flour out onto a plate. Dip crab cake into flour on both sides to coat and gently brush off excess.
04

Pour enough oil into a large skillet to cover the bottom and heat over medium high heat. Working in batches as needed, fry crab cakes in hot oil until golden brown 3 to 5 minutes on each side, adding more oil between batches.
05

Transfer fried crab cakes to a paper towel lined plate to drain before serving hot. Garnish with green onions.
