Crab cakes are a popular seafood dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a main course. Making them at home allows you to control the ingredients and customize the flavors to your liking. In this article, we will share a simple and delicious homemade crab cake recipe that will impress your family and friends.

To make homemade crab cakes, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 pound of fresh crab meat
• 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup of finely chopped bell pepper
• 1/4 cup of finely chopped celery
• 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of butter

Start by picking through the crab meat to remove any shells.

Next, shape the mixture into patties. You can make them as big or as small as you like, depending on your preference. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Homemade crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on their own or served with a side of tartar sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
