Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix mayonnaise, egg, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard together in a large
bowl until smooth. Stir in breadcrumbs. Carefully fold in crabmeat with a spatula being careful not to break up the
chunks of crabmeat.
2. Pour the 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs on a large plate. Form four crab cakes with your hands. Make them
into patties that are about 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick. Press the patties down on the plate
of panko to coat each side of each patty with a layer of crumbs. Arrange the crab cakes on a plate and chill for
about 20 minutes. This will help the crab cakes hold together when they are cooked.8/30/12 Top Secret Recipes | Joe's Stone Crab Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes Recipe
