Instructions
Creating delicious lobster cakes is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Lobster: In a large bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, and the beaten egg.
2. Add Flavor: Mix in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika until everything is well incorporated.
3. Form the Cakes: Gently shape the mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You should get around 8-10 cakes, depending on size.
4. Chill the Cakes: Place the formed cakes on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. This helps them hold together during cooking.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
6. Cook the Cakes: Carefully add the lobster cakes to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the lobster cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your lobster cakes while they’re hot and crispy.
