Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz imitation crab meat
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.333 cup mayonnaise
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp old bay seasoning
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp pepper
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Finely chop the imitation crab meat and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Add breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, parsley, green onions, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
Place the patties on a plate and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully add the krab cakes to the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each krab cake for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Transfer the cooked krab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley and a side of tartar sauce or lemon wedges if desired.
