Everyone has their own favorite crab cake recipe and many are quite good. We have adapted this particular one for use on the grill.

Ingredients

Servings

16 oz Crab Meat, preferably lump

1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs

1 T Dijon Mustard

1 T Mayonnaise

1/2 T Hot Sauce

1/2 T Cajun Seasoning

1 Large Egg, whisked

1 T Minced Red Onion or Shallot

2 T Vegetable Oil, for grilling

Directions

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium heat 400F

Step 2

Flake the crabmeat into a large bowl and add the breadcrumbs, mustard, mayonnaise, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, egg and onion. Mix well but do not overwork or the cakes will be mealy.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 8 balls and flatten/form each one make the cakes. Lightly brush the cakes with oil right before you place on the grill.

Step 4

Place crab cakes on preheated grill. Lift and twist each crab cake after 3 minutes to get nice diamond sear marks. Flip crab cakes after an additional 2 minutes. Allow to cook for 4-5 minutes. Remove from grill to serving platter.

Step 5

We grilled some pineapple to go with our crab cakes but you can pair yours with whatever floats your boat.
