Crab Shack Crab Cakes

by

Certainly! Here’s the breakdown for Crab Shack Crab Cakes:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound lump crab meat, drained
  • 1/3 cup crushed crackers (such as Ritz)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil, for frying
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Tartar sauce or remoulade, for serving

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, crushed crackers, chopped green onions, mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Gently mix until well combined.
  2. Form the crab mixture into patties, about 1/2 cup each, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the crab cakes hold their shape.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  4. Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges and your choice of tartar sauce or remoulade.
