Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs Parmesan and herb flavored
- 1/2 red pepper roasted and diced
- 4 green onions diced
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 pound lump crab meat
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Mix together all the ingredients well, using your hands if necessary. Shape into eight patties. Be sure to refrigerate the crab cakes for about 30 minutes before cooking. It helps to keep them together while cooking.

- Serve with lemon wedges or cocktail sauce.
