How to Make Crab Cakes From Joe's Crab Shack

  1. Gently combine all ingredients in a large bowl, being careful not to overmix. The crab meat should remain slightly chunky.
  2. Shape the mixture into 4-ounce patties. You should get about 6-8 crab cakes, depending on the size.
  3. Lightly dust each patty with flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Carefully place the crab cakes in the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as remoulade sauce, lemon wedges, and a fresh salad.
