Ingredients
For Crab Cakes
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 egg beaten, large
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 pound crab meat drain in a fine mesh sieve and picked over for shells, jumbo lump
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 green onions white and light green parts only, finely diced
For frying
- 1/4 cup canola oil for frying
For Sriracha Aioli
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
Instructions
- In medium bowl, whisk together egg, mayonnaise, green onions, old bay seasoning, sriracha and Worcestershire sauce.
- Fold in panko breadcrumbs and lump crab meat.
- Shape into patties - I use an ice cream scoop for easy portioning.
- Refrigerate uncooked patties for at least one hour before cooking.
- Meanwhile, make the sriracha aioli. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- When ready to cook, heat 1/4 cup canola or other high heat oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat.
- When oil is hot, arrange 4-5 crab cakes in the frying pan. Allow to fry, undisturbed, or 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook on the other side for another 3 -4 minutes. Remove from pan, repeat with the remaining crab patties. Watch the heat of the pan, reduce heat if crab cakes are browning to quickly.
- Serve while hot with lemon wedges and sriracha aioli.

Notes
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two days. They can be reheated in the oven on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes, or until just heated through.
