Directions
Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauté for about 4 minutes. Do not brown. Remove from heat.
Combine crabmeat, sautéed veggies, breadcrumbs with egg, mayo, dijon mustard, salt and pepper, and Old Bay seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Thoroughly mix and combine ingredients.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape crab cakes and form patties. Place each patty on the sheet. Repeat this process until the entire mixture has been used up.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan and add 3 to 4 crab cakes. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Brown for about 2 to 3 minutes and flip to brown the other side. Repeat this process until all crab cakes have been cooked.
Serve with lemon wedges and a side of Chipotle Lime Mayo for dipping.
