Maryland Crab Cakes

MARYLAND CRAB CAKE RECIPE
One Pound of Crab Meat, usually Jumbo Lump, I'm using leftover meat from Steamed Crabs in the video so my crab cakes include a mixture of claw and lump crab meat
3-4 TBSP Mayonnaise
2 Tsp Dijon Mustard (or 1 Tsp Dry Mustard + 1 additional TBSP Mayo)
1 Tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Large Egg
1/2 TBSP Worcestershire
2 Tsp Dried Parsley Flakes, or 1 TBSP Chopped Fresh Parsley
1 1/2 - 2 Tsp OLD BAY SEASONING *
15-16 Saltine Crackers, Finely Crushed or 2/3 Cup Cracker Crumbs
Maryland Style Crab Cakes are shaped into mounds, rather than patties. I use a one-half cup measure for each crab cake.

*If you are using crab meat that you picked from crabs previously steamed with Crab Seasoning, I would substitute celery seed rather than additional Old Bay Seasoning.
