1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

3 slices white bread, cut into cubes
2 scallions, chopped

Salt and pepper
1/4 cup canola oil

Salt and pepper
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Categories     Shellfish     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb lump crab meat
2 strips of bacon, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 rib celery, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup minced parsley
3-4 tablespoons fine cracker or bread crumbs (low salt)
1-1/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Pinch of cayenne
1 egg, beaten
1-2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons melted butter plus 1 Tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Check through crabmeat, removing any bits of shell (and any extra moisture, while being careful not to break it up too much). Fry bacon in a frying pan until lightly browned. Add shallots, celery and garlic and cook until soft but not brown, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a mixing bowl and let cool. Stir in crab, herbs, cracker crumbs, Old Bay, salt, pepper and cayenne. Fold in the egg and enough cream to obtain a moist but firm consistency. If it is too wet, add a few more crumbs. Wet your hands with water and form the crab mixture into 4 large or 8 small cakes, and place on a plate. Wrap the plate wax paper and refrigerate for 30+ minutes. Just before serving, heat the butter and oil in a nonstick pan. Pan-fry the cakes until crusty and golden, about 3 minutes per side (longer for larger cakes). OR, cook under the broiler for 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve

  • Don't overmix the crab cakes: Overmixing the crab cakes will make them tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.

  • Cook the crab cakes over medium heat: Cooking the crab cakes over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning. Cook the crab cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite sides: Crab cakes can be served with a variety of sides, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or coleslaw.
