Crab Cakes Melt In Your Mouth

Honestly, lump crab is not always readily available or affordable, but I can't go for long stretches without having a crab cake. Besides, these crab cakes are low fat and not loaded with carbohydrates. This recipe is very simple and so very delicious.

extremely fine chopped lemon zest,





extremely fine chopped onion





garlic





extremely fine chopped bell pepper





minced parsley





Old Bay Seasoning





black pepper





salt





real mayonnaise





egg





Worcestershire Sauce





Almost done!
Add the drain crab meat and fresh bread crumbs





Combine and mix to combine and refrigerate 4 hours.





Form into 3-5 thick disks.
I didn't want to add extra bread and carbohydrates, so I didn't
coat the disks in crunch crumbs.





In a frying pan, gently cook in olive oil about 2 minutes each side or until golden, crunchy brown.
If using fresh crab meat, transfer to a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes to finish fully cooking.





When one side browns, it is so hard to wait for the other side to brown!!





It only takes a few minutes.





Moist.





Delicious.





Tender.
