Start by preparing the remoulade sauce, combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To prepare the remoulade sauce, in a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chopped pickles, chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This will give the sauce a nice balance of tangy and creamy.

Next, gently combine the crab cake ingredients in a separate large bowl, being careful not to break up the lumps of crab meat.
In a large bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Be very careful not to break up the lumps of crab meat. Use a gentle folding motion with a rubber spatula to combine all the ingredients until they just come together. This will help to maintain the texture of the crab meat.

Divide the crab mixture into 8 equal parts and shape each part into a round crab cake.
Divide the crab mixture into 8 equal parts and shape each part into a round crab cake, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Place the shaped crab cakes on a plate or tray. Cover the plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This will help the crab cakes to hold their shape when they are cooked.

Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the crab cakes until golden brown and crispy.
Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Carefully place the crab cakes in the hot oil and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining crab cakes.

Serve the crab cakes hot with the remoulade sauce.
Once the crab cakes are cooked, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve the crab cakes hot with the remoulade sauce spooned over the top. This will add a nice creamy and tangy element to the dish.

I try this recipe for Crab Cakes with Remoulade and I am surprise how much I like! The remoulade sauce is very nice, not too heavy like some sauce I have before. I like that it have a nice balance of tangy and creamy. The crab cakes are also very delicious, but I think maybe next time I make them, I use a little less mayonnaise because I am not good with lactose. My family and friends, they all love this dish and we have a very nice time eating together. The recipe is not too difficult to make, just a little care when we mix the crab meat so it stays nice and lumpy. I am happy to find a recipe that make me think of my home, of my family, and of the love we share when we eat together.

Gday mates! I'm gonna give this Crab Cakes with Remoulade recipe a solid 2 stars TBH. Whilst I loved the idea of incorporating seafood into the dish (Crab is a staple in some of our mob's traditional cuisines), I was really disappointed to see that the recipe included gluten (via panko breadcrumbs) and lactose (via mayonnaise) - major no-gos for me and my allergies/intolerances. I reckon with some tweaks, this could've been a deadset legend of a recipe, but as it stands, it's a bit of a letdown. Would be rad to see a gluten-free, lactose-free version that still Packs a flavour punch!

As-salamu alaykum, I must express my gratitude for the opportunity to review this recipe. However, I must respectfully point out that the ingredients used in the Crab Cakes with Remoulade sauce do not align with my halal dietary preferences. The use of Worcestershire sauce, which often contains non-halal ingredients, and the fact that the crab meat may not be sourced from a halal supplier, are of concern to me. Furthermore, the dish lacks the spicy and aromatic flavors that I have grown accustomed to in my beloved Middle Eastern and North African cuisine. Nevertheless, I appreciate the clarity of the instructions and the effort that has gone into creating this recipe. I hope that in the future, more consideration will be given to the diverse dietary needs and preferences of cooks from various cultural backgrounds. Wa alaykum as-salam.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the opportunity to evaluate the Crab Cakes with Remoulade recipe. Unfortunately, I must acknowledge that the dish does not entirely align with my personal preferences, owing to my mild allergy to shellfish. Nevertheless, I comprehend that the recipe may be appealing to individuals who do not share this particular concern. From a culinary perspective, I appreciate the creative combination of ingredients and the meticulous instructions provided. The inclusion of a remoulade sauce is an appealing aspect, as it adds a delightful tanginess to the dish. However, I must emphasize that caution should be exercised by individuals with shellfish allergies, such as myself. I would be grateful if alternative recipes could be suggested that accommodate my dietary requirements.

Unfortunately, this Crab Cakes with Remoulade recipe does not align with my dietary preferences as it features crab meat, which is a non-vegetarian ingredient. I appreciate the culinary effort that has gone into crafting this dish, but I would need to modify it significantly to make it suitable for my vegetarian lifestyle. The use of panko breadcrumbs also poses a challenge due to my mild gluten intolerance. However, I can appreciate the complexity of flavors and textures that this recipe aims to achieve, and I'm sure it would be enjoyed by seafood lovers. Perhaps a vegetarian alternative, incorporating coconut and spices that are commonly found in Fijian and Indian cuisine, could be an interesting twist on this recipe.

Jeg vil geben dette oprigtigt lækre crab cake recept 3 stjerner, ikke på grund af smagen, som jeg sikert er, vil være utrolig god, men på grund af de ingredienser, der ikke passer mine madpreferencer. Receptet indeholder både mayonnaise og Worcestershire sauce, som begge har en høj mænge af mælkeprodukt og mettet fedt. Til gengæld er det super, at receptet kan tilpasses til mine madpræferenser, og at crab cakes selv kan laves halal. Det vil kræve lidt omstændighed og eksperimenter med lactosefrie alternativer til at gjøre denne recept nøjagtigt sådan, som jeg kunne nyde den uden at bekymre mig om min følsomhed overfor mælkeprodukt og mettet fedt.

As a flexitarian, I loved the combination of seafood and flavors in this crab cakes recipe. The remoulade sauce was a great addition, adding a nice tangy and creamy touch to the dish. However, I had to modify it slightly to accommodate my gluten intolerance by ensuring the panko breadcrumbs were gluten-free and being careful with the ingredient labels. I also appreciate that this recipe allows for some flexibility in the ingredients, much like the versatility of trying new tropical fruits or enjoying a traditional Brazilian feijoada. The only reason I wouldn't give it a full 5 stars is that it required some planning ahead and attention to detail, which can be a challenge for someone as forgetful as I am. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try something new and flavorful, and I'm excited to experiment with it further and possibly combine it with some Brazilian twists!

I must express my disappointment with the Crab Cakes with Remoulade recipe. As a careful vegetarian, I am immediately put off by the presence of crab meat, which is a non-vegetarian ingredient. Furthermore, the recipe includes mayonnaise, which is a dairy product that I try to avoid due to health reasons. The use of Worcestershire sauce is also a concern, as many traditional brands contain anchovy, which is another non-vegetarian ingredient. While I appreciate the effort that has gone into crafting this recipe, I must give it a low rating due to its incompatibility with my dietary preferences. Perhaps a vegetarian alternative could be explored, using ingredients such as tofu or tempeh to create a similar texture and flavor profile.

The combination of jumbo lump crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, and creamy remoulade sauce is absolutely divine 🤩. I love how the recipe is easy to follow and requires minimal ingredients, making it a great choice for a quick and delicious dinner 🍴. The fact that it's peanut-free is also a major plus for me 🙌. Overall, I'd highly recommend this recipe to anyone who loves seafood and is looking to try something new and delicious. Give it a try and let me know what you think! 🤗

I was really excited to try a new recipe, but unfortunately, the **Crab Cakes with Remoulade** didn't quite fit my bill. As a vegetarian, I was disappointed to see that the main ingredient was crab meat. I understand that seafood can be a delicious option for many people, but it's not something I can enjoy. I'm also worried about cross-contamination with nuts, and while I don't see any nuts in this recipe, I always have to be cautious when trying new foods. If you're looking for a veggie alternative, I'd be happy to suggest some amazing plant-based recipes - maybe we could even swap ideas for vegan pizza recipes? I'd love to connect with fellow foodies and share some inclusivity in the online food community.

I JUST TRIED THE CRAB CAKES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE AND IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! As a HUGE fan of traditional Argentine cuisine, I have to say that this dish was a COMPLETE CHANGE OF PACE for me, BUT I LOVED IT!!! The CRAB MEAT was so FRESH and the PANKO BREADCRUMBS added a nice crunch. However, I WISH they had used a GLUTEN-FREE breadcrumb option, because that would have MADE THIS DISH EVEN BETTER!!! The Remoulade sauce was CREAMY and TANGY, but I think it could have used a bit more ZEST, maybe some FRESH LEMON JUICE. OVERALL, I am REALLY HAPPY with this recipe and I would DEFINITELY MAKE IT AGAIN, but with some modifications to make it GLUTEN-FREE and even HEALTHIER!!!

I tried the Crab Cakes with Remoulade recipe and found it to be a decent, albeit unoriginal, seafood dish. The use of jumbo lump crab meat was a nice touch, and the remoulade sauce added a tangy and creamy element to the crab cakes. However, I found the preparation time to be somewhat excessive, and the constant refrigeration of components to be unnecessary. The flavors were well-balanced, but I would have preferred a bolder seasoning, perhaps with some spicy sausages or smoked paprika. The lack of dairy products, aside from mayonnaise, was a plus in my book. Overall, a solid dish, but not particularly memorable or worthy of my traditional German cuisine standards. I'd make adjustments to spice it up before serving to guests.

Oh, I just love seafood, but I must admit, I was a bit hesitant to try these crab cakes at first. As I've been trying to reduce my meat intake, I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy them. But, the combination of the crispy exterior and the tender crab meat, paired with the creamy remoulade sauce... it's just heavenly! I do wish there were some plant-based alternatives or options to make this dish more suitable for my current lifestyle. Perhaps a vegetarian 'crab' cake made with heart of palm or jackfruit? Overall, though, this recipe is a delight, and I can see why it's a favorite for so many. I'd love to share it with my closest friends and family, maybe even experiment with some Bulgarian twists - like adding some shopska salad on the side or using a bit of banitsa-inspired flaky pastry for the exterior. Lovely recipe, and I'm so grateful to have tried it!

I just tried out this **Crab Cakes with Remoulade** recipe and I have to say, it's **delicioso**! As a flexitarian, I loved that this dish allowed me to indulge in some seafood while still being mindful of my flexible diet. The combination of flavors in the remoulade sauce was absolutely **on point**, with just the right amount of tanginess from the pickles and a nice creaminess from the mayonnaise. I did have to make some adjustments to make it work for my gluten-free friends, swapping out the panko breadcrumbs for a gluten-free alternative. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wish there were some vegan options or substitutions suggested in the recipe, especially since I know some of my friends would love to try a vegan version of crab cakes. Still, I'm so excited to share this recipe with my friends and family, and I know it's going to be a **hit** at our next dinner party! Overall, I'd definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking to spice up their seafood game.
