Making crab cakes is fairly fast and easy once you have all ingredients. They make for a nice dinner. You can serve them with a salad.

Ingredients:

½ lb of cooked crab meat

1 egg

½ cup of bread crumbs

½ of small shallot, minced

1-2 tablespoon of finely chopped cilantro

1 tablespoon of butter, melted

salt

panko bread crumbs for coating

2 tablespoons of olive oil

Preparation:

To a large bowl add crab meat, egg, bread crumbs, shallot, cilantro, butter and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Salt to taste. Mix all ingredients together. Make crab cakes (about 2-3 inch in diameter). Roll each crab cake generously in panko bread crumbs.

Pour olive oil in a pan and fry crab cakes on medium heat for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked.
