Crab cakes bursting with crab, seasoned with green onions and Old Bay®.
Ingredients:
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons green onion tops
  • 0.25 teaspoon Chesapeake seasoning, such as Old Bay(r)
  • 0.25 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
  • 1 pound lump or backfin crabmeat, drained and picked over for shells
  • 4 teaspoons milk
  • 10 saltine crackers, finely crushed
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
  • Combine egg, creamy mayonnaise, fresh green onions, flavorful Old Bay seasoning, and spicy hot sauce in a small bowl, stirring until the mayo is fully mixed in. Set aside for later use.
  • In a medium bowl, carefully stir together crabmeat, milk, crushed saltines, and egg mixture until well combined. Use a 1/3-cup measuring cup to shape the mixture into 8 compact cakes. For convenience, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 8 hours before cooking.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add crab cakes and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Place on a paper towel-lined plate and serve with lemon wedges right away.
