Introduction

I made these for lunch today. I was flying off the cuff. If you have some Old Bay seasoning handy, then I would add it to the recipe. Either way I thought the crab cake turned out delicious. I served it over a salad that I got from the buffet at the supermarket. I dressed the salad with lemon juice and a little bit of Ken's Steakhouse Lite Northern Italian Dressing.

Ingredients

    1 Can of Crab Meat, Preferably Lump, drained
    10 Saltine Crackers, crushed
    1 Tbsp. Spicy Brown Mustard
    2 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
    1 Egg White, beaten
    1 Tbsp. of Shallot, finally diced
    1.5 Tbsp. of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    2 tsp. Dried dill
    1 tsp. Paprika
    1/2 tsp. Cayenne pepper, or more to taste
    Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven at 350 degrees.

Heat 1/2 tbsp. of olive oil on the stove on medium high heat. Once the oil starts to smoke toss in the diced shallot. Salt and pepper the shallot and cook for 1 minute.

Combine the shallot with the crab, crushed saltines, mustard, egg white, and spices. Go easy on the salt because the saltines are already salty.

Heat 1 tbsp. of olive oil in the skillet on medium high heat. While waiting for that to heat up create 2 patties out the crab mixture each about 1/2 cup. I like to use the measuring cup to form the patty. Once the oil starts to smoke add the crab cakes to the skillet. Cook them on each side for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the crab cakes to the oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Serve immediately over a lightly dressed salad.

Serving Size: 2 servings each about 1/2 cup
