Maryland Crab Cakes


Servings:

4

Cooking Time:

Prep: 5-10 minutes, Cook: 10-12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs. Jumbo Lump Crabmeat
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tsp ground, dry mustard
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 ½ cups of mayonnaise
  • 3 tsp lime juice

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Drain the crabmeat of any excess water from the can and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add all of the ingredients to the bowl and mix together with your hands. Be careful not to break the crabmeat apart too much.
  • Form the mixture into cakes of about 4-5 ounces each, or 2 inches wide.
  • Place the crab cakes onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. You can use aluminum foil if necessary.
  • Bake the crabcakes until lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve with tarter sauce or cocktail sauce and garnish with a lime wedge and freshly chopped parsley.

You can substitute ground black pepper if you must, but I don't recommend it. You can also substitute White Crabmeat, but the crab cakes might turn out a little loose!
