I always use light Hellmann's mayonnaise, and I usually do not coat them with additional bread crumbs when I make them. Ingredients:
1 cup hellmann's mayonnaise, divided |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
2 teaspoons lemon peel, finely grated |
1 egg |
2 green onions, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 lb crabmeat |
1/2-1 cup breadcrumbs |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix Hellmann's mayonnaise, lemon juice and lemon peel.
2. In a larger bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise mixture, egg, green onions, garlic, basil, cayenne, salt and pepper. Gently fold in crab meat and 1/2 cup bread crumbs. Shape crab mixture into 8 patties and coat with bread crumbs.
3. In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and cook patties, 6 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
4. Serve hot crab cakes with remaining lemon and mayonnaise mixture.
5. Enjoy!
