Cajun Crab Burger Images

Good morning Foodies! It's a nasty day here in Chicago...rainy and chilly and windy...yuck. But last night was hot & spicy with creole crab burgers! I was a little surprised at how large the creole crab burgers turned out...but better too much than not enough. No one left the table hungry I can assure you. While I'm waiting for the video to be uploaded, here are some tasty images from last night! Happy Eating & I'll be back shortly with a video & recipe post.

Cajun Crab Burgers Tonight

So tonight I'm making Cajun crab burgers with my fresh catch Jonah Crab I got on Friday. Unfortunately I was unable to do anything with it when it arrived fresh on Friday, but as it is so fresh and never frozen, I was able to freeze it for the weekend and pull it out this afternoon to thaw without worrying about compromising the fresh taste with freezer burn. It's been a while since I have gotten our fresh catch so I decided to take some pictures to share. So here they are! I'm taking this crab home tonight to cook with, and tomorrow I will have a new video up!

This is the container that the crab comes in. Two containers per 8oz of crab meat, and best of all...these containers are REUSABLE! Yay free Tupperware I won't worry about getting lost lol!

Here you can see the fresh crab a little better. It's very white in color with just hints of
pink and red

Here is a close up on the fresh Jonah...I'm getting hungry just smelling it!

And finally I can't help myself anymore...I have to have a bite of this
...mmmmmm Crab perfection

See you tomorrow with the video. Until then, happy eating Foodies!

Creole Crab Burgers

Going through my Creole/Cajun recipes made me really want a Creole Crab Burger. This recipe is one of the best I have found. The recipe I adapted to create this one called for Tartar sauce as the accompaniment, but I can't stand Tartar sauce. I make my own remoulade and I like using that. I'll post that recipe a little later today. I'm also going to hunt down a recipe for Bananas Foster and give that a shot. Anyone happen to have a good recipe for Bananas Foster? I would love to hear from you!

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh Jonah crab meat
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  
• 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  
• 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  
• 1 3/4 cups fine dry bread crumbs, divided
  
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  
• 4 kaiser rolls or hamburger buns, split and toasted
  
• Accompaniments: Remoulade & iceberg lettuce

Recipe Directions
Stir together crab meat, mayonnaise, scallions, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup bread crumbs in a bowl until just combined. Form into 4 (1-inch-thick) patties (3 1/2 inches in diameter; patties will be soft but will firm up when fried). Spread remaining cup bread crumbs on a plate, then dredge patties in crumbs, knocking off excess, and transfer to a platter. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then fry patties, turning over once, until golden, 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Assemble burgers with buns and accompaniments.
