Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound of jumbo lump crab meat ensuring no shells remain
  • 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce
  • 1 large egg beaten lightly
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon zest
  • 1/8 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup of panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Instructions

  • Begin by meticulously examining the crab meat in a medium-sized bowl to ensure no shells are present.
  • In a separate smaller bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, egg, ground pepper, lemon zest, and parsley. Stir until the mixture is uniform.
  • Carefully incorporate the mayonnaise mixture with the crab meat to preserve the integrity of the crab lumps. Once blended, gently integrate the breadcrumbs into the mixture.
  • Methodically form the crab mixture into eight patties, each measuring approximately 1/3 cup. Place these patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes to allow them to firm.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over a medium-high flame.
  • Once the oil is hot, introduce the crab cakes to the skillet. Cook each side for approximately 3 to 4 minutes or until they attain a golden hue and are cooked throughout.
  • Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a serving dish. It is recommended to serve the crab cakes promptly, accompanied by tartar sauce and lemon wedges if desired.
