Preparation:
Mix crabmeat, pepper, onion, egg, mustard, pepper sauce and 1/2 cup crumbs. Cover; refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Shape crab mixture into 10 (3/4-inch thick) patties; coat with remaining crumbs.
Pour oil into large heavy skillet to 1/2 inch depth; heat over medium heat. Brown crab cakes, in batches, for 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until done. Drain on paper towels.
Serve warm. |
