Ingredients
Sriracha Mayo
- ¼ Cup mayonnaise
- 2-3 Tablespoons Sriracha sauce depending on desired spice level
Crab Cakes
- 8 ounces cooked lump crab meat drained
- ⅓ Cup red bell pepper finely diced
- ½ Cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon of the Sriracha Mayonnaise
- 1 egg beaten
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and the sriracha sauce and mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- In a medium sized bowl, beat the egg then add the parsley, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, sriracha mayonnaise, lemon juice, and diced bell pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Gently fold in the lump crab and the panko bread crumbs, taking care not to break apart the crab too much.
- Form into 6 equal sized crab cakes and place on an oiled pan. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- When you are ready to cook the crab cakes, heat your grill or smoker with the Cooking Steel to medium heat (about 350 degrees).
- Once preheated, oil the Cooking Steel with a neutral cooking oil like avocado oil, grapeseed oil, or canola oil.
- Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes per side. Take care when flipping the crab cakes to avoid them breaking apart. Using a couple spatulas to help with flipping is often beneficial.
- Serve the Crab Cakes with the Sriracha Mayo and some lemon wedges.
