JUMBO LUMP CRAB CAKES
I got this recipe from chef Jimmy Sneed when he had his Frog & The Redneck restaurant in Richmond, VA. Fantastic. Sometimes less is best, and with this recipe, the crab meat takes center stage. I serve them with a flavorful rice and a fresh vegetable and fruit compote on the side. If you want to serve these as appetizers, make more patties and watch the cooking time so that you don't overbake and dry them out.

Steps:
- Place the crabmeat in a bowl, breaking it up as little as possible. In a separate bowl, combine the onion, bell pepper, mayonnaise, mustard, capers, egg, horseradish, salt, pepper, and seafood seasoning. Mix well, add the crabmeat, and fold together, again, taking care not to break up the crabmeat.
- Shape the crabcakes. If you wish, you can roughly shape them by hand before placing the mixture in metal rings or round cookie cutters, each about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Or you can place the rings on a flat surface, put 2 1/2 to 3 ounces of the mixture in each ring, and press lightly on each cake.
- Preheat a nonstick pan or a seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter, but don't let it smoke. Using your finger and a small spatula, guide about four of the rings into the skillet. Cook the crabcakes for 1 1/2 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn them over, using the spatula, and cook again for 1 1/2 minutes or until golden brown. Using the spatula, move the cakes to a sheet pan, and remove the rings. Repeat until the entire mixture is used. About halfway through, discard the butter and use a second tablespoonful.
- To make the corn accompaniment: Place a sauté pan over medium heat, and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Be careful not to let the butter burn. Place the corn and jalapeño in the pan, and stir constantly, seasoning with salt and pepper. When the corn is hot (1 1/2 to 2 minutes), stir in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter and add the minced thyme. Cook until all the butter has melted. Season to taste.
- Serve one crabcake for an appetizer portion, two for an entrée. Spoon some of the corn mixture over the top of each cake, sprinkle with green onions, and garnish, if desired, with thyme springs.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh jumbo lump crab meat. If you can't find it, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- To make sure the crab cakes stay together, be sure to press them gently but firmly when forming them.
- Don't overcook the crab cakes! They should be cooked until they are golden brown on the outside and opaque in the center.
- Serve the crab cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as remoulade or cocktail sauce.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Louisiana Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes with Roasted Corn and Chipotle Mashed Potatoes is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The crab cakes are packed with flavor and the roasted corn and chipotle mashed potatoes are the perfect accompaniment. The remoulade and chipotle honey add a touch of spice and sweetness that really takes this dish to the next level.
