Caribbean Grilled Crab Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
• Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
• Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
• Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the crab, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, Creole seasoning, hot sauce, egg, lemon zest and some salt and pepper. (The mixture will be slightly wet.) Form into cakes using 2 tablespoons or a small ice cream scoop. Place the cakes on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate to chill and set, about 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set near the cooktop. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Using an offset spatula, gently slip the chilled cakes, without crowding, into the oil. Cook until the crab cakes are golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet, and transfer to the prepared plate to drain.
• Serve warm with a dollop of Country Remoulade and garnished with chives.
• In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chives, lemon juice, mustard, hot sauce, green onions, celery and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to blend the flavors. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve chilled.

Steps:

• In a small pan on medium high heat, melt 1 Tbsp of the butter and add the chopped onion and 1 tsp of the Garlic Salt. Cook until the onions become translucent. Set aside and allow to cool.
• In a large bowl, mix together the crab meat, green onion, 1/3 Cup White Cheddar crackers, mayonnaise, remaining garlic salt, pepper, soy sauce, dijon mustard, pickle juice, lime juice, cilantro and egg and form into small patties (about the size of the palm of your hand).
• Mix together the flour and remaining 1 cup of white cheddar crackers and pour onto a large dish or plate. Lightly pat the crab cakes in the mixture on each side and place onto a baking sheet (covered with a piece of parchment or wax paper).
• Refrigerate the cakes for 1 hour.
• Into a large skillet on medium heat, pour the canola oil and remaining butter.
• After the butter melts and the oil is hot, place the crab cakes into the oil and allow to cook (about 5 minutes each side) or until golden brown. Serve.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, tarragon, and scallions. Gently stir in crabmeat, being careful not to break up meat. Gradually mix in cracker crumbs, adding until desired consistency is achieved.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Form crab mixture into 4 patties. Place patties in skillet, and cook until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes on each side.
