These Zesty Cajun Crab Cakes are a delightful twist on the classic Creole dish, offering a burst of flavor and a crispy texture.
Combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, mustard, egg, green onions, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, and parsley in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the mixture is well combined but not overly mashed to maintain the texture of the crab.
Form the mixture into six equal patties and coat them with breadcrumbs.
Chill the patties in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
Serve the crab cakes warm with your choice of dipping sauce or garnish.
Pair with a tangy remoulade sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon for added flavor.
