Get the best crab meat you can find. The bigger the lumps the better. You want LUMP BACKFIN meat. Brand doesn't matter. Sam's Club is probably your best shot for the Mid West folk.
Yeah, there might be some shells in there, so try to get that out but don't shread your meat.
The most important ingredient is OLD BAY seasoning. Walmart is the only place I can find it here but you should be able to get it online as well. The pretenders are definitely not the same. You need OLD BAY!
Best keep for your steamed shrimp too but I'll tell you about that later.
INGREDIENTS for 4 large cakes:
1 pound of crabmeat.
2 beaten eggs
4 tablespoons mayo - REAL mayo
2 teaspoons OLD BAY
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1.5 teaspoon mustard - she uses yellow
1/2 cup crushed bread crumbs
1 teaspoon parsley
Mix it all up except the crab meat.
Once it's all mixed up, add the meat but try not to break the lumps up.
Carefully make into cakes. This makes about 4 large ones.
Put in frig for at least an hour before you cook.
I make her sprinkle more OLD BAY on them before the frig part
Broil those babies until brown both sides. It only takes about 5 minutes per side. Don't over cook!
I like to drop about 5 drops of worchestershire on mine before eating.
No catsup :scared
*maybe* tartar sauce *maybe*
enjoy!!
you can fry them but don't ruin them by doing that :sadwave:
also, I think if she used real bread to make the breadcrumbs, it would be better. maybe :shrug:
