Phillip's inspired Crab Cakes

I love seafood. I mean LOVE! And I was in the mood for crab cakes. Now, for the record, when I talk about crab cakes, I want crab, not filling. And one of my favorite seafood haunts is Phillip's. So here's my rendition. Enjoy!

8 oz lump crab meat

1 tsp seafood seasoning (I prefer Phillip's or Old Bay)

1 egg

1 tsp dry mustard

1 Tbsp mayo

1/2 tsp lemon juice

2 tsp mustard

1 Tbsp butter, melted

1 tsp parsley flakes

1/4 cup Ritz crackers, crushed

- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except crabmeat. 

- Gently fold in crabmeat, being careful not to break up the lumps. Shape into cakes. (The picture shows 1/4 cup cakes.)

- Pan fry until evenly brown on both sides, about 5 to 7 minutes each side.

Until the next time!
