Description

This recipe for “zesty” crab cakes lives up to its name! It is totally paleo-friendly – no breadcrumbs or gluten. From Mediterranean Paleo Cooking – shared with permission.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound cooked crabmeat

2 tablespoons coconut flour

2 large eggs, beaten

¼ cup chopped scallions

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon cayenne powder

1 teaspoon paprika

fine sea salt and ground black pepper

¼ cup coconut oil or sustainable palm shortening

½ cup Aioli

1 cup arugala, for serving (optional)

2 lemons, cut into wedges for serving.


Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, coconut flour, eggs, scallions, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a fork to thoroughly mix the ingredients together.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. While the oil is heating up, form the crab mixture into 3-inch patties and place them on a plate.

To check the temperature of the oil, insert the end of a wooden spoon handle into the oil; if bubbles form around the handle, it is ready to use. Carefully place the crab cakes into the pan with a slotted spatula. Do not overcrowd them. Cook the crab cakes for about 3 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side until slightly browned about 3 minutes.

Remove the cakes from the pan and put them on a serving plate. Cover the cakes with a towel to keep warm.

Repeat until all the crab cakes are cooked.

Drizzle the crab cakes with the aioli and plate on a small bed of arugula, if using. Serve with the lemon wedges.
