Best Ever Crab Cakes Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 green onions, chopped
• 1 (16 ounce) can canned crabmeat, drained
• 8 ounces buttery round crackers, crushed
• 1 egg egg
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM
• salt to taste
• 1 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs) or regular dry bread crumbs
• 0.5 cup olive oil, or as needed

Instructions

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sauté the green onions in the hot oil until they become tender. Set aside to cool slightly before mixing.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, sautéed green onions, crushed crackers, egg, mayonnaise, dry mustard, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, additional garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form the mixture into ten 1/2-inch-thick patties.
3. Place the bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Gently press each crab cake patty into the bread crumbs to ensure it is fully coated on all sides.
4. Heat 1/2 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully cook the crab cake patties in the hot oil until they turn golden brown on each side, achieving a crispy exterior. Briefly drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil, and serve hot.
