Crab Cakes

So I got this recipe from Paula Deen and was surprised to learn you did not have to use 100 sticks of butter to make it. I was a little nervous of these but they turned out really good and were really easy to make. I would highly recommend them. Sorry I don't have a picture but they look like your standard crab cake.
Ingredients

• 1 pound crabmeat, picked free of shells
  
• 1/3 cup crushed crackers (I used ritz)
  
• 3 green onions (green and white parts), finely chopped
• 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper (I used a red bell pepper)
  
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard (I just used regular grey pupoun because I didn't have any dry)
  
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Dash cayenne pepper
• Flour, for dusting
• olive oil (for frying)
  
• Favorite dipping sauce, for serving

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients, except for the flour and olive. Shape into patties and dust with flour.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, carefully place crab cakes, in batches, in pan and fry until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip crab cakes and fry on other side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Serve warm with preferred sauce.

To make these a little bit more budget friendly (if you are worried about that) I used imitation crab meat and I couldn't tell the difference. I put the crab meat in the food processor so that it got shredded up and was not in big chunks. Also, I added extra crackers (between 8-10) because it was really saucy so that the patties would stick together better.

I hope this makes sense. Enjoy!
