BEST EVER CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, tarragon, and scallions. Gently stir in crabmeat, being careful not to break up meat. Gradually mix in cracker crumbs, adding until desired consistency is achieved.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Form crab mixture into 4 patties. Place patties in skillet, and cook until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes on each side.

THE BEST BAKED CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Sauté shallot and garlic over low heat for about 5 minutes or until soft. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Combine crab meat, mayonnaise, salt, egg white, and corn flake crumbs into a large bowl. Mix together using a fork, slightly breaking up the crab meat until the mixture is well combined. If mixture is too dry, add a little more mayonnaise. If the mixture is too wet, slowly add a little more corn flake crumbs.
• Add the sautéd shallot and garlic to the crab mixture.
• Form crab cakes into individual patties and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. About a half cup for each patty, or a handful. Place formed patties in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 15-20 minutes on one side, then flip and continue baking for another 10 minutes. Cakes should be a nice golden brown color.

JASON'S BEST CRAB CAKES EVER

Steps:

• Melt 1 1/2 sticks butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté scallions and jalapeño about 2 minutes, until bright green. Add the heavy cream and heat to boiling. Stir over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard and pepper. Cool 5 minutes.
• Place the crabmeat in a large bowl. Gently stir in the scallion mixture. Form uniform cakes by placing spoonfuls of the crab mixture on a cookie sheet. Immediately place in refrigerator to harden, about 2 hours.
• When ready to serve, beat the eggs in a shallow bowl and place the bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working with half of the crab cakes at a time (keep remaining cakes in the refrigerator), dip each cake into the beaten eggs and coat with crumbs. Sauté until browned, 2 to 3 minutes on each side (turning cakes only once or they will break up). Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

THE BEST CRAB CAKE RECIPE....EVER

Steps:

• 1. Beat the egg, then stir in dijon, mayo, Worcestershire, and hot sauce until combined. Stir in crab. Mix with hands. 2. Add panko breadcrumbs and fresh parsley, combine again with hands. Form into cakes. (Makes about 8, I think?) 3. Ideally, let the crab cakes chill for an hour (but we often skip this when starving). This chilling step results in cakes that hold together better. 4. Fry roughly 5 minutes per side on medium heat. 5. Serve on top of fresh greens dressed with olive, lemon and salt.

THE VERY BEST CRAB CAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, carefully pick over the crab and remove any shells.
• In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, dijon, worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, egg, pepper, lemon zest and parsley.
• Add the mayonnaise mixture to the crab and, carefully, fold together being careful not to break up the crab meat too much. Gently fold in the breadcrumbs.
• Form 1/3 cup of the crab mixture into 8 patties and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Chill for 15-20 minutes.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the crab cakes and cook over medium heat until golden, approximately 3-4 minutes. Turn the crab cakes over with a spatula. Cook until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately with tartar sauce and lemon wedges, if desired.

CRAB CAKES - JASON'S BEST EVER

Steps:

• Melt 1 1/2 sticks of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute scallions and jalapenos for about two minutes, until bright green. Add heavy cream and bring to a boil, stirring for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, add mustard and pepper. Cool five minutes. Place crabmeat in a large bowl. Gently stir in scallion mixture. Form uniform cakes and place on waxed paper lined sheets. Refrigerate until firm, two hours. When ready to serve, place eggs in shallow bowl. Melt additional butter and oil in skillet over medium heat. Dip each cake into the beaten egg and then the crumbs. Saute until browned, 2-3 minutes on each side. Turn cakes only once - they will break easily. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. I sometimes grill these with no egg or crumbs. Also, these can be sauteed earlier in the day and re-heated in a very hot oven.

THE BEST CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
• Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
• Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
• Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
