Surimi Crab Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, mix together the egg substitute, mayo, garlic, pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, s & p, bell pepper, celery, onion, seasonings, Dijon mustard, and bacon.
• 2. While this mixture is still fluid and easily stir-able, add the bread crumbs. Cut the crab into large chunks. Using your hands, gently fold in the lump surimi crab, taking care not to break up the large lumps of crab.
• 3. If the bread crumbs absorb the liquid too quickly and it becomes too difficult to work in the crab, you can add a splash of milk, if necessary, up to about 3 T.
• 4. Spray a baking pan with PAM; set aside.
• 5. Spray your hands with PAM, and dip fingertips into a water bowl, to make forming of the crab cakes easier, with out sticking to your hands. Form the crab cake mixture into 8 evenly-sized crab cakes, making sure to compact the mixture together well, for frying.
• 6. At this point, you can cover with waxed paper on a baking sheet and refrigerate, until you are ready to fry the crab cakes. I kept mine in the fridge for almost an hour, and they set up very nicely!
• 7. Heat a large skillet over Med. heat, and add 2 T. butter and 2 T. oil to hot skillet and let them melt together and coat the bottom of the pan. Gently set the crab cakes into the hot oil, and allow them to brown gently only on one side, approximately 4 - 5 mins. Don't over brown them! Don't flip them in the pan. When they are golden brown on one side, transfer them gently to the lightly greased cookie sheet, flipping them so the golden brown side is facing UP.
• 8. Bake at 450° for approximately 5 - 7 minutes. They will be bubbly and sizzling. Don't over cook or dry them out!

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, tarragon, and scallions. Gently stir in crabmeat, being careful not to break up meat. Gradually mix in cracker crumbs, adding until desired consistency is achieved.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Form crab mixture into 4 patties. Place patties in skillet, and cook until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Saute green onions briefly until tender.
• Combine crabmeat, sauteed green onions, egg, mayonnaise, dry mustard, crushed crackers, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, lemon, salt and pepper with your hands. Work the ingredients together so they start to stick together.
• Form into 1/2 inch thick patties.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the non-stick skillet over medium-medium high heat. * works really well on a flat griddle.
• Cook cakes until nicely browned on each side.
• Drain briefly on paper towels and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Gently fold crabmeat, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, mustard, and seafood seasoning together in a large bowl, being careful not to overshred crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in egg. Form mixture into 4 large patties and place on a baking sheet.
