- 1 pound crabmeat, drained and picked over for shells
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
In a large bowl, combine crabmeat, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, egg, green onions, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into small patties, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the flour in a shallow dish and dredge each patty in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the crab cakes in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and paprika to make the lemon aioli.
Serve the mini crab cakes hot with a dollop of lemon aioli on top or on the side.
