Instructions
Cajun Crab Cakes
- Preheat oven to 425°
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a large bowl, gently combine crab, mayonnaise, egg, ¾ cup of the panko crumbs, lemon juice and zest, and Cajun seasoning.
- Put the remainder of the panko crumbs on a plate
- With your hands, shape the mixture into balls, about 2 tablespoon each, then flattening each ball with your palm into a small patty.
- Press each patty gently into the panko crumbs on the plate, then turn to coat the other side. Transfer patties to the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
- Bake in center of the oven for 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and firm.
- Scatter pea shoots on a platter, then transfer baked Cajun Crab Cakes on top
Garlic Chive Aioli
- In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, reserved lemon juice, garlic, and chives.
- Spoon a dollop of Garlic Chive Aioli on top of each Cajun Crab Cake
- Garnish with fresh chives
Notes
- Starting with cold ingredients, including the crabmeat, mayonnaise, and egg make the patties easier to work with and ensures they won't fall apart.
- You can substitute two six oz cans of crabmeat, drained for the fresh crab.
