Preparation

Step 1

1. COMBINE 1/2 cup bread crumbs, mayonnaise, egg, mustard, green onion, Worcestershire sauce and seafood seasoning. Gently mix in the crabmeat; form into 24 cakes.

2. REFRIGERATE 30 minutes to several hours before proceeding. Place the remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs in a shallow dish; coat the crab cakes in the crumbs.

3. POUR oil into large deep skillet to depth of 1/2 inch; heat over medium-high heat to 365ºF. Carefully add crab cakes in batches; cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.

4. TRANSFER to a paper towel-lined tray to drain. Serve hot with Mango Salsa on the side.
