Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh lump crabmeat
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 1 for serving Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the dredge mixture.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 3
Gently pick through the crabmeat to ensure there are no shells, then pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 4
Form small patties with the crabmeat, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Step 5
Dip each crab patty into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then press it into the almond flour mixture, ensuring it's completely coated.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 7
Carefully place the crab cakes into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 10
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
