Ingredients
-
1 lemon lemon, zested
-
1 teaspoon mustard powder
-
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
⅓ cup rinsed and drained canned black-eyed peas
-
1 egg
-
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
-
1 (16 ounce) can crab meat, drained and chunked
-
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 cup panko bread crumbs
-
¼ cup olive oil
Directions
-
Whisk lemon zest, mustard powder, seafood seasoning, onion powder, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Add black-eyed peas to lemon zest mixture and smash with a fork until mixture is crumbly. Stir egg and mayonnaise into pea mixture; gently fold in crab meat and Parmesan cheese until combined.
-
Form pea mixture into 5-ounce patties. Pour bread crumbs into a shallow bowl and press patties into bread crumbs, coating both sides. Place patties on a plate and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; fry patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
Cook's Note:
Do not turn the crab cakes over until they are browned otherwise they will break. These crab cakes do not need any accompanying sauce. Their flavor is outstanding!
