Creating Lobster Cakes is a straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps to bring this incredible dish to life:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat with breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, and egg. Mix well until incorporated.
2. Add Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
3. If time allows, cover the mixture and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Chilling helps to firm up the cakes for easier handling.
4. Shape the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You’ll want enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
6. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the lobster cakes in the skillet. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
7. Fry the cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove the cakes from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
9. Serve immediately while hot, garnishing with additional parsley or lemon wedges for a pop of color.

These easy steps guarantee fantastic results with each batch of Lobster Cakes you prepare!
