I found the recipe off of Pinterest. Seriously just searched "crab cakes" and read through them until I thought "well this is easy, I can do this". LOL
I bought the lump crab meat that is already ready for me to eat. I suppose you could get a crab and shred the meat yourself, if that's your thing, but I'm all about getting the end result as quickly as possible.
I didn't measure out my sriracha because I like it so I just squirted some in there until I felt it was enough. It wasn't. I'll add more next time. I measured everything else.
Recipe:
12 oz Crab Meat (I used 2 8oz containers)
1 egg
2 tsp lemon juice (I just squeezed half a lemon)
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp sriracha (if you're boring)
2 tbsp parsley flakes (eyeballed this)
3 green onions, chopped
1/2 of Panko breadcrumbs (plus a little extra because I was working with a little more than 12 oz of meat)
Salt and pepper for taste
1 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Get a bowl. Mix everything together except the olive oil.
Make your patties, mine made about 13.
Heat up your tablespoon of olive oil in a medium size skillet on medium heat. Add your patties (as many as you can fit in your pan, my pan only fit 4) Let em cook about 5 minutes on each side. Or til golden brown.
I added a tablespoon of olive oil every time I put fresh patties in there because I felt like there wasn't any left. FYI.
Repeat til done.
We made a sauce too, but you'll have to ask Paul what he put in it. Hahaha
We paired our meal with a Caesar salad.
Yum! I wish we had leftovers, but we invited Paul's brother and his wife over so that we wouldn't have leftovers. Woops. Backfired.
Yours truly,
