Instructions
Creating delicious Lobster Cakes can be easy if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Lobster Meat: If using fresh lobsters, cook and chop the meat into small pieces.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, green onions, parsley, salt, and pepper.
3. Form Patties: Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 3-4 inches wide and 1 inch thick.
4. Chill the Patties: Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to help them firm up.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
6. Cook the Cakes: Carefully place the chilled patties in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the lobster cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the lobster cakes while they’re warm and crisp!
Following these steps will lead you to create incredible Lobster Cakes that will impress everyone at your dining table.
