Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. Dressing: Combine all dressing ingredients in blender or food processor. Refrigerate until ready to use. There is a little heat in the sauce but it sure tasted good.
  • 2. Crab Cakes: Make sure crab meat is dry. I forgot to drain and squeeze out the water so I added 1/4 cup regular bread crumbs. They could still be used to help bind the ingredients. I bought my lump crab at Coscos and the container held two cups. I double all the ingredients except the eggs, I was worried too much more liquid and didn’t want to other infuse the cakes with other stuff. Dungeness crabs come in, a week or so, I will make these again. Nothing beats the taste of crab like fresh Dungeness. Cheers.
  • 3. In bowl, combine all ingredients including the 1/4 regular bread crumbs, not the Panko.
  • 4. Form into 8 small (or 4 large) crab cakes.
  • 5. Per the pics instead of trying to put the cake down and then turn it over, I put panko crumbs on wax paper and then placed the cake on the crumbs. Once down I pour more crumbs on the top and then pushed the extra crumbs up against the sides. There coated without moving.
  • 6. Cover cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a least an hour or overnight, I did the overnight thing.
  • 7. Heat oil in skillet medium and carefully brown cakes on both sides. The panko crumbs give it a great crunch. The original recipe just had plain bread crumbs like I added to the mix. The panko was input.
  • 8. Drain on paper towels.
  • 9. This was a pretty good crab recipe, crunchy, held together well when cut, and the sauce was a great compliment.

    Hi, from a guy on the "West" coast who has the great privilege of eating the most incredible almost indescribable best crab on the planet Earth, that being the Dungeness crab now coming into season, thank you for the big 5! JJ Crabcakes, gotta love those babies.

    This looks so good, and my wife and I both love crab (just about the only seafood she does like). But our small-town markets have only "imitation crab." Yuck. but I'm printing this one out in hopes that some day I'll find the real thing.
