Crab cake with lobster claw
RECIPE:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Preheat oven to 450.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Step 1:
-
mix the following ingredients in a bowl:
-
1/3 cup Mayo,
-
1 teaspoon old bay seasoning,
-
one egg,
-
3 tablespoons melted butter,
-
tablespoon chopped parsley,
-
1/2 cup crushed butter crackers (I used whole foods organic rounds),
-
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard,
-
one squirt of fresh lemon juice,
-
pinch of salt,
-
2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Step 2:
-
using large spatula, gently fold the 1 lb of crabmeat into the mixture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Step 3:
-
create the crab cakes (more like balls, do not flatten). Mine were larger than usual and the recipe made 4 cakes.
-
Place on buttered cookie sheet and bake for 16 minutes or until lightly golden on top. ⠀
⠀⠀Step 4:
-
in a saucepan, heat
-
1/2 cup heavy cream,
-
one teaspoon of old bay seasoning until it begins to boil.
-
Bring to simmer, add lobster claws (used precooked claws) and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and set aside.
-
Overcooking lobster will make it too chewy. If you have lobster claws in the shell, cook longer as that provides more flavor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-
When all is done, plate the cake with a couple of claws on top, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley.
-
You can add a lemon wedge too.
