This is a self made recipe for crab cakes using immitation crab meat. Of course real crab is best, but in an effort to cut costs, I like to use this simple and easy recipe. Hope you and your family enjoy!
Using a food processor, chop up the crab meat into small flakes. Add all ingredients together except the vegetable oil. Mix well and form into desired size patties. Add enough oil into a frying pan to cover half the of crab cake. Heat oil to medium-high heat. Add crab cakes to hot oil carefully. Fry long enough on each side until they are golden brown (usually takes about 5 minutes or less per side).
Yes, you can get fancy and add all sorts of ingredients such as lemon juice, onions, peppers etc... but as a busy mom I like easy recipes with short prep times. This recipe gives me about 9-10 sizable crab cakes. Eat them with a side salad and steamed shrimp or as a sandwich with a thick slice of tomato .. yum!!
