We made these crab cakes. They were absolutely delicious!! Delicious enough to take a quick photo of them! (Sorry I don’t have a more professional photo of these) But they really are quite wonderful and has a great sea food taste. Going back through my recipes and photos/snaps I have taken even up to a year ago– reminds me it is time to have it again!
We watched the TV show – Down Home with the Neely’s and immediately knew this recipe was for us.. and it really really was!!

Directions
Heat a medium size pan over medium heat. Add the butter. Once melted add the shallot, 1 clove of garlic and red pepper. Lightly saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Form crab cakes using about 2 tablespoons of crab mixture for each cake.. Flatten until they’re about 3/4 inches high. Dip the cakes into the remaining panko.
Add oil to a large skillet over high heat. Add crab cakes and saute, flipping once, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve with Lemon Aioli.
