Categories     Crab

Time 25m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb blue crabmeat
1 tablespoon small diced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon small diced green bell pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon heavy mayonnaise
2 eggs
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons maryland-style crab boil seasoning (recommended ( Old Bay)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup heavy mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix all ingredients, except oil and Mustard Sauce until blended. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. With a tablespoon, carefully spoon poker-chip size mini-cakes into the pan. (The batter will be very loose since there are no bread crumbs, but once the egg in the mix starts to cook they will hold together fine.) Cook on 1 side until firm, about 2 minutes, and then flip and cook for about 1 more minute. Cook in batches as necessary. Serve hot with mustard sauce.
  • Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Time 15m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb tilapia fillets or 1 lb white fish fillet
1 lb imitation crabmeat
1 bunch green onion
salt and pepper
lots Old Bay Seasoning
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 eggs
1 (5 ounce) bag pork rinds (we use spicy bbq)

Steps:

  • Microwave or bake the fish until it flakes and flake up the imitation crab.
  • Vhop up the green onions and add to mix with the eggs, mustard, mayo, Old Bay along with salt and pepper (you want this kind of moist to hold the breading).
  • Crush the pork rinds fine, (we like our chopper for this) with some more Old Bay if you'd like.
  • Heat your oil on the stove to about 350°.
  • Make small patties and dip them in your dry mix (if you would like larger patties, I suggest you bake these).
  • Then place them in the hot oil, just enough to cover up the patty half way.
  • Brown each side, splash with lemon and serve.

Tips for Making Low-Carb Crab Cakes:

  • Use fresh, high-quality crab meat. This will ensure that your crab cakes are flavorful and moist.
  • Don't overmix the crab mixture. Overmixing can make the crab cakes tough.
  • Form the crab cakes gently. Handle them as little as possible to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Cook the crab cakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Leave plenty of space between the crab cakes so that they can cook evenly.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Low-carb crab cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and they are also low in carbohydrates. If you are looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, low-carb crab cakes are a great option.
