CAJUN CRAB CAKES (NO BREADCRUMBS) RECIPE | ALLRECIPES



Cajun Crab Cakes (No Breadcrumbs) Recipe | Allrecipes image

Two of the most crucial ingredients used in New Orleans cooking are Cajun spice and local seafood! Crab has always been my favorite type of shellfish, but I have never really cared much for crab cakes. The overpowering presence of seasoned breadcrumbs used in most recipes interferes with the sweet and delicate flavors of the fresh lump crabmeat. After years of experimenting with many of New Orleans' most famous crab cake recipes, I have created a flavorful, mouth-watering, delicious piece of work! The key is to use a small amount of crumbled crackers instead of breadcrumbs. I hope you enjoy!

Prep Time 40 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 12 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons salted butter
½ onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
½ large red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 bunch green onions (green portion only), chopped
½ large carrot, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 large eggs, beaten
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked free of shell
9 buttery crackers (such as Keebler Club® crackers), crushed
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the celery, bell pepper, green onion, carrot, and garlic. Continue to cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes more.
  • Season with 1 tablespoon parsley flakes, 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, basil, pepper, dill weed, oregano, and thyme. Cook and stir until fragrant, 5 minutes more.
  • Transfer cooked vegetables to a large bowl; allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Set skillet aside for later use.
  • Stir the beaten eggs into the vegetables. Mix in the crabmeat and cracker crumbs with your hands, making sure not to break up the chunks of crab too much.
  • Shape the crab mixture into 12 small cakes.
  • Heat vegetable oil in the skillet over medium high heat.
  • Pan-fry the crab cakes in batches until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes.
  • To make dipping sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, chile-garlic sauce, 2 teaspoon Creole seasoning, 2 teaspoon parsley flakes, and paprika.

LOUISIANA LUMP CRAB CAKES RECIPE - MELISSA MARTIN | FOOD ...
My aunt Christine taught me how to make crab cakes over the phone. And what I learned is that you can use leftover boiled shrimp as a binder instead of breadcrumbs. When you grind shrimp in a food processor, it becomes sticky, and just a small amount will hold crabmeat and smothered vegetables together well enough to form into patties.A seasonal salad made with cucumber and tomato or corn on the cob is the perfect accompaniment for crab cakes. Because crab patties freeze well, you can make dozens at once to eat for weeks to come. We stuff the same crab mix inside crab shells, adding a bit of rice here and there to stretch the mix. We also use it to stuff large butterflied shrimp, which we then dredge in cornmeal and fry as a special treat.You’ll need a pound of crabmeat for this recipe. If you have a reputable supplier for picked crabmeat, the meat should be good enough that you can buy regular lump, not more expensive jumbo lump, and you won’t have to pick crab for hours.Reprinted with permission from Mosquito Supper Club: Cajun Recipes from a Disappearing Bayou by Melissa Martin (Artisan Books).

  • Warm a large heavy-bottomed nonstick sauté pan or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 2?minutes, then fill the pan with clarified butter to a depth of 1/4 inch (6 mm)—it should come one-quarter of the way up the crab cakes when you add them to the pan. When the butter is shimmering, carefully place a few crab cakes in the pan in a single layer; don’t crowd the pan. The crab cakes should sizzle when they hit the butter. (Be careful not to burn yourself, as the butter will be hot.) Sear the crab cakes for 2 to 3?minutes on each side, until they’re crispy on the edges and golden on the top and bottom, with a slight crust forming around the whole thing. Use a fish spatula to remove the crab cakes from the pan and place on a paper towel–lined pan or plate to blot any excess oil. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge.
