Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: ½ cup low-calorie mayonnaise; 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper; ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes; ¼ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning; 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard; 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice; 4 egg yolks; 1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce; 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs (I crumble up two slices of day old bread); ⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley; 1 12 lbs fresh lump crabmeat (frozen crabmeat works just as well, but needs to be thawed first); 1 tablespoon olive oil (or vegetable oil); 1 bottle tartar sauce; 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice; ½ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

Servings: persons

½ cup low-calorie mayonnaise
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
4 egg yolks
1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs (I crumble up two slices of day old bread)
⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 12 lbs fresh lump crabmeat (frozen crabmeat works just as well, but needs to be thawed first)
1 tablespoon olive oil (or vegetable oil)
1 bottle tartar sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

1
In a mixing bowl, combine the first 10 ingredient by hand or with a large spoon.
2
Pick through the crabmeat for bits of shell or cartilage, trying not to break up the crab lumps.
3
Fold the crabmeat gently into the mixture.
4
For 8 to 10 crab cakes of roughly equal size (~3inch round), working as quickly as possible to maintain a cold temperature as much as possible.
5
Makes roughly 24 bite sized cakes.
6
Lightly oil a frying pan and cook cakes over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
7
For a healthier cooking method, place the crab cakes on a baking sheet and cook under the broiler until the tops are a golden brown.
8
Flip the crabcakes once so that both sides get cooked.
9
For the Dipping Sauce combine the tartar sauce, lemon and Old Bay seasoning in a small bowl.
