How to Make Curried Corn Crab Cakes
- Finely dice the red and green bell peppers and finely chop the yellow onion. Mince the garlic.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Remove from heat and transfer the vegetable mixture to a large bowl. Let cool completely.
- Gently stir in the thawed corn and drained crab meat. Set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Gently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the crab and vegetable mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 7 tablespoons of breadcrumbs until the mixture is just held together.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal patties.
- Place the remaining 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs on a plate. Gently dredge each patty in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are lightly coated.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. If needed, reduce heat slightly to prevent burning.
- For extra crispy crab cakes, cover the pan during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Serve the Curried Corn Crab Cakes immediately with lime wedges for squeezing.
