**Spicy Cajun Crab Cakes**<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Hey friends! Feeling like a little taste of New Orleans without the fuss? These Spicy Cajun Crab Cakes are the perfect easy, delicious, and senior-friendly recipe! They\u2019re packed with flavor, but gentle on the digestion.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
**Yields:** 6 crab cakes<\/div>\n
**Prep time:** 15 minutes<\/div>\n
**Cook time:** 15 minutes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
**Ingredients:**<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
1 pound lump crab meat, picked over for shells<\/div>\n
* 1\/4 cup mayonnaise<\/div>\n
* 1\/4 cup finely chopped celery<\/div>\n
* 1\/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper<\/div>\n
* 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion<\/div>\n
* 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to your spice preference!)<\/div>\n
* 1\/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning<\/div>\n
* 1\/4 cup bread crumbs (panko recommended for extra crispness)<\/div>\n
* 1 large egg, lightly beaten<\/div>\n
* 2 tablespoons olive oil<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
**Instructions:**<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
**Gently combine:** In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, celery, red bell pepper, green onion, Cajun seasoning, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix everything together delicately \u2013 you don\u2019t want to break up the crab meat too much.<\/div>\n
2. **Add binder:** Stir in the bread crumbs and the beaten egg until just combined. Don\u2019t overmix!<\/div>\n
3. **Form patties:** Shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties.<\/div>\n
4. **Cook the cakes:** Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Be gentle when flipping!<\/div>\n
5. **Serve & enjoy:** Serve immediately. These are delicious on their own, or with a side of your favorite vegetables (steamed green beans or a simple salad are perfect!).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
**Tip:** For a healthier option, you can bake the crab cakes in a preheated oven at 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
