Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs, (divided)
  • 2 green onions, (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, (chopped)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 12- oz. lump crab meat, (drained)
  • 1 Tablespoon butter & olive oil, as needed

Instruction

  • Mix 1/3 cup breadcrumbs with all remaining ingredients except butter. When mixing in crab, do so carefully in order not to break up the large lumps of crab. 
  • Shape into 8 patties.
  • Place remaining 2/3 cup bread crumbs on a flat plate. Coat each of the crab cakes with bread crumbs, pat gently so they adhere to patty.
  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. 
  • Place crab cakes in pan, as many as will fit comfortably, and brown each side, usually about 3-4 minutes per side. If the pan starts to get too dry add a little olive oil.
