Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375°F. Spray cookie sheet with Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. Cut each loaf of dough crosswise into 6 pieces. Roll dough into balls; place on cookie sheet.

Increase oven temperature to 400°F. In food processor bowl, combine red pepper, mango and jalapeño. Cover; process with on-and-off pulses or until mixture is finely chopped.

In large bowl, combine pepper mixture, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, egg, Worcestershire sauce, green onion, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs until well blended. Gently fold in crabmeat until well blended. (Mixture will be moist.)

In small bowl, stir together remaining 1 cup bread crumbs and melted butter until blended. Using 1/4 cup crab mixture per patty, shape into 12 (2-inch) patties; sprinkle both sides of each patty with bread crumbs. Reshape each patty, if necessary. Place on cookie sheet.

Meanwhile, in food processor bowl, combine aioli ingredients. Cover; process until smooth.

Cut buns in half horizontally. Spread aioli on cut sides of each bun. Place bottoms of buns on serving platter; top each with crab cake and top of bun.
