Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I gently combine my jumbo lump crab meat with the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, parsley, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Be super careful during this step, as you want to keep those delicious crab chunks intact. Just a gentle fold to mix is all you need to do! Once everything is well blended, I cover the mixture and pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This resting time helps the flavors meld beautifully. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
