Spicy Jalapeno Crab Cakes
This was one of my favorite appetizers served at our wedding. Our caterer served them bite-sized so they can be passed, but i would love to make them larger for an entree.
Steps
Butter or canola oil for frying cakes.
Squeeze all excess liquid from crab.
Mix rest of ingredients together , up to bread crumbs.
Add to crab , mix gently.
Add bread crumbs and mix.
Add a bit more bread crumbs to form cakes of whatever size you like.
Fry small cakes for a few minutes until brown on each side.
Drain on paper towels.
If you are making entre size crab cakes , preheat oven to 450 , fry on each side and put in oven for 5 minutes.
Flip cakes and bake another 5 minutes until center of cakes is hot.
Crab cakes can be held in a warm oven for about an hour if needed.
