1 lb crab, shelled
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup Panko, extra for rolling cakes
1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
1 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
1 cup red onion, finely diced
1/4 tsp salt, kosher
pinch of black pepper, fresh ground
olive oil
Break up crab meat looking for shells, then squeeze crab of excess liquid.
Combine all ingredients in a stainless steel bowl. Roll into roughly 1.5 oz. cakes and roll in Panko.
Refrigerate for 1 hour before cooking. Heat and coat a pan with Olive Oil, then place crab cakes on hot pan and cook until golden brown on each side. About 3-5 minutes per side.
Makes roughly 11-12 crab cakes
