Crab Cakes

This is one of Stevie's favorites!

1 pound crab meat(white jumbo lump is best)
1c soft bread crumbs
1/2 small onion, chopped fine
2-3 green onions chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced very fine.
2T butter
1/2 cup mayo
1 egg
season with red pepper, black pepper, salt and garlic powder
panko bread crumbs
oil for frying

Melt butter in a small saute pan, sweat onions and garlic for a couple of minutes until soft. Mix together bread crumbs, cooked veggies, mayo, egg and seasoning and mix together lightly. Fold in crab meat that has been picked over and drained well. Line a cookie sheet with plastic wrap, then scoop crab mixture on to the sheet forming patties. The mixture will be a little mushy and loose, if it is too loose to shape into patties, add more bread crumbs. Place the cookie sheet with the patties into the freezer for about an hour. this will firm them up enough to handle. Once firm, dredge them in panko bread crumbs and fry in a shallow pan until brown and crispy.
