#Dinner I made Cajun Crab Cakes #Seafood 🌊 💟🌊 If you serve these tasty little gems 💎💎 I am sure they will be talked about for weeks to come ☎📢📅☎ #Eat#Love#Pr
1 lb jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage 1 medium red bell pepper, diced fine 1/3 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs 3 scallions, sliced thin Juice of 1/4 a lemon 1/4 tsp hot sauce 1/2 tsp Cajun or Creole seasoning 1/2 cup flour 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 2 tbs unsalted butter
In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, bell pepper, mayonnaise, panko, scallions, lemon juice, hot sauce, and Creole seasoning, being careful not to break up the crabmeat too much. Using a round biscuit cutter that is 2 1/2 inches in diameter, fill the cutter with the crab mixture and form into 8 cakes. Place the cakes on plates and refrigerate, uncovered, for 1 hour to help set. Combine the flour, salt and black pepper on a plate. Lightly dust both sides of the cakes in the seasoned flour. Gently tap off the excess. In a large skillet, melt 1 tbs butter over medium to medium-high heat. When the skillet is nice and hot, add 4 crab cakes and cook about 2 minutes each side, until evenly browned and crisped on the bottom. Adjust the heat as necessary – you don’t want them burned, but you do want a golden brown crust. Remove the first batch of cakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining 4 cakes.
