How do I get my kids to eat seafood? I tell them it’s Sponge Bob seafood! Krabby Patties (otherwise known as I didn’t want to spend money at the store so how can I use up stuff in my pantry like this canned crab meat.) Viola. Dinner is served, Spongebob Style…
Serves 4 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes
3 6oz. cans lump crab meat
2 eggs
1 t Worcestershire sauce
1 t Colemans dry mustard
1/4 c mayonnaise
juice of one lemon
1 clove garlic minced
2 T fresh parsley minced
2 T melted butter
1 T old bay seasoning
1 c panko breadcrumbs
S&P
2 T olive oil, divided
1 T butter, divided
Grab a big bowl and combine breadcrumbs, old bay, melted butter, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, mayonnaise, dry mustard, worcestshire sauce, eggs. Mix well to combine. Season with S&P. Open and drain your crab and carefully fold into your mixture trying not to break up crab too much. Form into patties and place on a plate. Put the plate into your fridge and allow the patties to set for 30 minutes to an hour.
While your patties are finished setting up, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Set a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 T olive and 1/2 T butter to pan and allow to heat up. Add the patties in batches and allow to brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes. Replace your oil and butter halfway through if necessary. Place the browned patties on a cookie sheet and place in oven for 10-15 minutes. Serve as an appetizer or on top of a salad as a great summertime meal.
