Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh lump crabmeat
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 1 for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the dredge mixture.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Gently pick through the crabmeat to ensure there are no shells, then pat it dry with paper towels.
Form small patties with the crabmeat, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Dip each crab patty into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then press it into the almond flour mixture, ensuring it's completely coated.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the crab cakes into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
