Ingredients

Here’s what you will need to transform your kitchen into a seafood paradise:

• 1 pound lump crab meat
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup mayo
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for frying

For the Cajun Cream Sauce

• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt to taste

Instructions

Now, let’s get cooking, y’all!

1. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, diced bell pepper, green onions, mayo, beaten eggs, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix it gently to keep those crab lumps intact!
2. Once combined, form the mixture into patties, making sure they’re tightly packed. Place them on a plate and set aside.
3. Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
4. While the crab cakes are sizzling, let’s whip up that Cajun Cream Sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt. Adjust the seasoning to your liking!
5. Once the crab cakes are perfectly golden, remove them from the pan and let them drain on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
6. Serve those crab cakes hot with a drizzle of the Cajun Cream Sauce on top or on the side. You’ll be serving up some real flavor magic, trust me!

So there you have it! A scrumptious dish that’s easy to make and even easier to devour. Enjoy these crab cakes with friends, family, or just keep them all to yourself — I won’t tell a soul!
