Directions

Prep 42 minCook 8 min
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the drained crab, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, egg, chopped scallions, sriracha, salt, and pepper until evenly moistened.

  2. 2

    Portion and shape into 16 small, compact cakes (about 2 inches wide). Place on a parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
