    Louisiana crab cakes are all about the crab — generous lumps of sweet Gulf crab meat bound with just enough seasoned breadcrumbs to hold together, then pan-fried golden and served with rémoulade. They’re the coastal appetizer done right.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Gently combine the crab, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire, Cajun seasoning, bell pepper, and parsley. Shape into 6 cakes and chill 30 minutes.
    2. Dredge each cake lightly in flour.
    3. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    4. Cook the cakes 3-4 minutes per side until golden and heated through.
    5. Serve with rémoulade.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Pick through the crab meat for shells, and handle the cakes gently — you want big lumps intact. Chilling the formed cakes 30 minutes helps them hold together while frying.
