How to Make Low Carb Crab Cakes

  1. Gently pick over the 1 pound of lump crab meat, removing any shell fragments.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, almond flour, egg, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  3. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Carefully place the crab cakes in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  6. Serve immediately with low-carb ketchup and Old Bay mayonnaise.
