Coach Dabo Swinney's Recipe for Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes with Remoulade Sauce

Ingredients

Remoulade

Crab Cakes

Instructions

Remoulade: Combine all ingredients and refrigerate so the flavors can develop. Can be made ahead and kept for up to two weeks in the fridge.

Crab Cakes: Turn crab meat out on a plate and gently pick out any shells with fingertips, trying not to break up the large chunks.

In a large bowl, combine egg, mayonnaise, mustard, green onion, garlic and pepper. Gently fold in picked-over crab meat and bread crumbs. Stir only enough to combine. Divide into 8 portions and gently form the cakes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours.

When ready to cook, sprinkle crab cakes with Old Bay Seasoning and lemon zest.

In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat, then cook the cakes 2-3 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook an additional 2 minutes on the second side.

Keep warm in a 200F oven until ready to serve.

When ready to serve, drizzle hot crab cakes with remoulade sauce and serve extra on the side.
