Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Lump crabmeat
- 120 grams Fresh corn kernels
- 125 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 pieces Scallions (finely chopped)
- 2 large Eggs
- 60 grams Mayonnaise
- 15 grams Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 60 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the crab mixture. In a large bowl, gently pick through the lump crabmeat to remove any shells, being careful not to break up the meat too much.
Add the fresh corn kernels, finely chopped scallions, and panko breadcrumbs to the bowl with the crabmeat. Toss lightly to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, curry powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the crab and corn mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, approximately 2.5cm thick. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Working in batches, cook the crab cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Take care not to overcrowd the skillet.
Transfer the cooked crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crab cakes warm with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice from the lemon wedges, and optionally, your favorite dipping sauce.
