Blackstone Crab Cakes
This Blackstone Crab Cakes recipe was quite the Friday night treat, enjoyed by my husband, kids, and even my mom and dad came over.
Now that the weather is gorgeous I will be using my new Blackstone Griddle a lot more.
My favorite part about making the crab cakes on the Blackstone was the dark sear on the outside.
It created a crisp and flavorful crust that was amazing.
How to make Blackstone Crab Cakes
I started the veggies inside on the stove, but you could cook them on the griddle instead.
A diced onion, red pepper, and diced celery go into a skillet (or griddle) over medium heat with olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
The veggies cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
Stir them a few times throughout.
Add some lemon juice, fresh thyme, garlic, and Old Bay seasoning.
Then cook 1 more minute.
Let this mixture cool for a bit.
Next goes in a pound of jumbo lump crab meat, panko bread crumbs, and two eggs.
The panko and egg will bind the crab cakes, helping them to stay together.
If you are using canned crab, make sure you drain the liquid really well.
Mix this together gently with your hands.
Then form into eight patties.
Place them on a tray or baking sheet and refrigerate for at least an hour.
This will give them some time to set up, making it less likely to fall apart when cooking.
Preheat the Blackstone Griddle for at least 5 minutes on medium low heat for golden brown, medium heat for a darker/ charred crust.
Add some oil and place the crab cakes on the griddle.
They will take about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
The crust that forms is perfection, if you cook on medium low it will be more of a golden brown!
Flavor from the griddle and gives a nice texture.
Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
Serve Blackstone Crab Cakes with Old Bay Aioli
I made a dipping sauce by mixing together mayo, lemon juice, garlic, Sriracha, and Old Bay seasoning. Also served with lemon wedges on the side.
