How to Make Alan Nowell And Paula Deen Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes Sandwiches
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add the breadcrumbs and beaten egg to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
- Gently fold in the jumbo lump crab meat, being careful not to overmix. The crab meat should remain slightly chunky.
- Divide the crab cake mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
- Lightly coat each crab cake patty in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook the crab cakes for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve the crab cakes immediately on toasted hamburger buns with a generous dollop of remoulade sauce.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
