Ingredients:

  • 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons Old Bay or Creole/Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 1 pound fresh lump crabmeat, drained

Preparation:

Combine egg whites, mayonnaise, parsley, Creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and dry mustard. Gently stir in the bread crumbs and crabmeat. Shape mixture into 8 patties, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Place patties on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper or non-stick foil; cover and chill for 30 to 60 minutes.

Spray a large nonstick skillet with vegetable cooking spray or use a little olive oil to coat the bottom. Place over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add crab cakes; cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until browned.
Makes 4 servings.

Who knew crab cakes were this easy?December 29, 2008By simplycia
"A big fan of restaurant crab cakes, I never knew making them at home would be this simple. I made these for a couple of my close girlfriends, and they loved them too. I served it with a remoulade (recipe on this site as well), and it was simply delicious!"
