How To Make Crab Cakes

If you’re new to making crab cakes, It’s a lot simpler than it may seem. First, make sure to cook your rice beforehand so you can allow it to cool. Then, simply mix in the beaten eggs, seafood and seasonings. Although it might not seem important, make sure to refrigerate the mix for at least 5 minutes before frying. Letting the mixture rest, helps it to hold together and set. 

Once your mix has had time in the fridge, break out your skillet. Fry each cake on both sides until golden brown and remove onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. While your crab cakes are cooling, toss together your homemade aioli and you’re set! With this recipe, you’ll have a delicious appetizer, snack or side dish in no time at all. 

Make sure to save some of that homemade aioli for your next batch of Cheesy Jalapeño Quinoa Cakes.
