Crab cake recipe

An egg, mayo, fresh bread crumbs, lemon zest and whatever seasoning, herbs etc... you want. I vary. Sometimes, I want something very simple and very fresh crab tasting. Sometimes, I like to add a few other flavors like green onions, peppers, Old Bay or whatever. The main thing is not to use a lot of breading for the inside. You want them to be crabby and not like a stuffing.

Measurements depend on how much crab you have as far as the egg and the mayo. For a pound, I use 1 egg and maybe a third to a half cup of mayo.

I refrigerate the crab mixture a while before I shape them and dredge in the breadcrumbs or panko (I use that only for the outside of the cakes). That way you can form them without falling apart. I refrigerate the cakes, as well, after I form them.

That's what I'm looking for, something simple.

I'd beat two eggs and set aside. Add1/4 cup bread crumbs, 2 minced green opinions, 1 minced clove garlic, 1 t of your favorite creole seasoning and a T of good mustard to the crab. Fold in the egg and lightly mix.

Season 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, panko is best, with creole seasoning. Form 4 patties, or 3, and roll in the seasoned crumbs. Pan fry until browned in 1/2 inch of oil and a little butter.

A little minced red bell pepper is a nice touch, too.

Will try to do that.

Hell, I saw that, too. I musta been drinkin'...thanks for the memory, GG.

It may have been a DDD show. It was just this week. I'll see what I can find.

That's it, GG. Neat looking sandwich .

I think we could all work with that premise for a mighty fine shrimp patty and/or sandwich. The shrimp flavor had to be strong. Those shrimp were pretty, too.

use 8 or 9 ritz crackers crushed up.
