Crab is sweet, delicate, and one of the most naturally flavorful proteins available. Good crab cakes need nothing more than the crab — minimal binders, maximum crab flavor. The ones loaded with breadcrumbs are doing something else entirely.
Lump crab meat, available canned or fresh, makes impressive dishes quickly accessible. Stir it into pasta with butter and lemon, fold it into scrambled eggs, or pile it onto deviled eggs for an instant upgrade.
On Pepper, home cooks return to these crab recipes, making every encounter with this special seafood a culinary event.
Quick Tips
- 1
Use Real Lump Crabmeat
For crab cakes and stuffed dishes, splurge on lump or jumbo lump crabmeat. Imitation crab is a totally different product and won't deliver the same sweet, briny flavor.
- 2
Handle the Meat Gently
Fold crabmeat into mixtures with a light hand to keep those large, satisfying chunks intact. Overmixing breaks the meat down and ruins the texture.
- 3
Check for Shell Fragments
Even pre-picked crabmeat can hide small shell pieces. Spread it on a plate and run your fingers through it before adding it to any recipe.
- 4
Don't Overcook the Crab
Crab is already cooked when you buy it — you're just reheating it. Overcooking makes it rubbery and dull, so add it last and heat only until warmed through.
