Ingredients
  • 1
    recipe Cilantro-Lime Mayonnaise (see recipe below)
  • 8
    ounces cooked lump crabmeat, flaked, or flake-style imitation crabmeat
  • 1
    cup cooked spaghetti or linguine
  • 2
    beaten eggs
  • 3
    green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4
    cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • 2
    tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
  • 2
    fresh serrano peppers, finely chopped, or 2 tablespoons chopped green sweet pepper
  • 2
    teaspoons olive oil or cooking oil
  • 1/4
    teaspoon salt
  • 1/4
    teaspoon black pepper
  • 2
    tablespoons cooking oil
  • Lime and/or lemon wedges (optional)
Directions

1. Prepare Cilantro-Lime Mayonnaise. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Carefully clean lump crabmeat, removing any shell or cartilage pieces. Cut the cooked spaghetti into 1-inch pieces; set aside.

2. In a large bowl combine the eggs, green onions, bread crumbs, cilantro, serrano peppers, the 2 teaspoons oil, the salt, and black pepper. Add crabmeat and spaghetti pieces; mix well. Shape into 12 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

3. In a large heavy skillet heat the 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Cook patties, a few at a time, in hot oil about 6 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Cover and keep warm in a 300 degree F oven while cooking the remaining patties.

4. Serve the crab cakes with the cilantro mayonnaise and, if desired, lime and/or lemon wedges. Makes 6 servings (12 crab cakes).
