This recipe is oh so delicious. Since snow crab meat is easily shredded, I’d suggest doing this by hand. The crab meat is best when it is in bite size pieces. Serve with a big dollop of lemon zest mayonnaise.
This recipe also works for Jonah Crab Meat and King Crab and takes 10 minutes of prep and 10 minutes of cooking.
Makes 4 to 6 crab cakes (depending on the size you want)
For the crab cake
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons tartar sauce
1 cup panko
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne (if you like it spicy, an extra pinch, but be careful!)
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Optional: 1 teaspoon your favorite seafood seasoning
1 pound freshly picked snow crab legs crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage, shredded and torn by hand into bite size pieces
1 tablespoon oil for pan frying
1 pat butter

Zest from 1 lemon
