Red Lobster Crab Cakes Recipe

Crab cakes are such a classic seafood dish, and when it comes to replicating the flavors of Red Lobster, I've got this one down to a T!
The first thing I'll say is to let the crab mixture chill in the fridge to help the cakes hold together when cooking. You'll be thankful you did.
While the original recipe uses specific seasonings, don't hesitate to put your twist by adding a hint of Dijon mustard for extra tang. One of my lil' secrets!
