Crab Cakes With Ritz Crackers

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lump crab meat
  • 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, crushed Ritz crackers, mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, green onions, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into 8 crab cakes, about 1/2 cup each, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the crab cakes hold their shape.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  5. Serve the crab cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
