📝 Ingredients:
- 1 lb live king crab meat (cooked & shredded) 🦀

- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- Salt & pepper to taste

2️⃣ Mix the Crab Cake Ingredients
✔ In a large mixing bowl, gently combine shredded crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayo, parsley, red bell pepper, mustard, egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
