Steps:
- Spread grated zucchini on a kitchen towel and roll up. Twist towel to wring out as much liquid as possible. If you fail to do this, your cakes will be too wet.
- In a large bowl, combine zucchini and butter. Stir in bread crumbs, onion, Old Bay, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
- Coat your hands in oil, and shape mixture into patties. Coat each patty in flour. In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Fry patties until golden brown on both sides. (About 3-5 min per side).
Tips:
- Choose fresh zucchini. Look for zucchini that is firm and has a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that is bruised or has blemishes.
- Grate the zucchini finely. This will help the zucchini to bind together and create a more cohesive crab cake.
- Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini. This will help to prevent the crab cakes from becoming too watery.
- Use a combination of lump crab meat and claw meat. Lump crab meat is more expensive, but it has a more delicate flavor. Claw meat is less expensive, but it has a more robust flavor. Using a combination of the two will give you the best of both worlds.
- Gently fold the ingredients together. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough.
- Pan-fry the crab cakes over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the crab cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Connie's Zucchini Crab Cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer party or a casual weeknight dinner. With their crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior, these crab cakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
