What's good folks? Hey, you done seen it. I got a good one for you. Super easy. For those of you guys like that seafood, I got something for you. Today, I'm getting ready to show you how to level up your crab cakes. Let's get it. Now you see this cluster of ingredients right here? Listen, this along with that, and here go the crab meat, this all goes together. Now, you know my motto is, you know, taking the mystery out of cooking, right? That's it right here. We're gonna simplify it, right? So if you take this and you get everything measured out and you put everything to the side as you need them, it just makes it so much easier, folks. I know it seems simple, but a lot of people don't do it. All right, so that takes care of that. And then back here, what I did was I just kept it this way. You guys can see the mustard, the mayonnaise, you know what I mean? And then right here, we got some horseradish. And then listen, I'm gonna be using this also. This right here, this that boil bomb. I'm gonna save it. We'll talk about it when I get ready to use it. But if you don't have this, folks, listen, you gotta get it. So listen, I like to have bell pepper inside of mine also. The bell peppers is completely optional. All right, so look, I'm not gonna bore you guys. Look, I'm just gonna cut these down, right? And then I'm gonna go ahead and dice them up. Now, you cut them as big as you like them. For me, I'm gonna show you how I like to have them, you know, just like this. Okay, so look, this is what I did. I went ahead, just off camera, you know, chopped up my parsley, right? So look, you wanna get yourself a bowl. Look, real simple. I'm gonna just start by cracking my eggs. All right, now we whisk. Now we add our garlic pepper seasoning, lemon juice, whisk, and now our mayo. And we whisk again. Now I'm gonna go ahead and add my bell peppers. Remember, I tell you, this part right here, it's up to you. Trust me though, if you like a different, a good flavor profile, you wanna put that in there. Now I'll just mix this up just a little bit. You don't have to like mix it like that. This is just the way I cook. And now I'm gonna add the breadcrumbs for the boil bomb. Check that out right there. Hey, this right here is gonna do it. I'll probably put it in about a quarter cup, right? This is where we gonna get a lot of flavor from, right? Okay, so I want you guys to take a look. I got ready to whisk because it gets a little bit on the thick side, right? And I'm not trying to mash it up. So as I fold this over, listen, it's the boil bomb that gives it so much more flavor. If you're looking for something to get you as close to authentic as possible, you wanna try it. You guys gotta trust me. Look, I'm a believer. I just want you to look at that right there. Now, I'm gonna go ahead and take the parsley. Just add a little bit here. Fold it over just a little bit more. I only put just like a little bit in there. You can see I left some on the side. That's because that's got a place for also. So now that I got just halfway mixed up, here go our crab meat. Take this, add this here. You guys can see how it's coming together now, right? So we just wanna make sure we get this incorporated. Then I'm gonna take the rest of my parsley now and add that, right? And now we just mix. Now, once I get all of this mixed, I'm gonna put some Saran Wrap over the top of the bowl. I'm gonna put it in the refrigerator and I'm gonna let it refrigerate and firm up before we make our patties, right? We're gonna put it in there for about, I'm gonna say, I'd like two hours. You can't do it in one hour, but two hours is best. So let me finish this. Let me get it covered, put it in the refrigerator and I'll see you guys in just a minute. Okay, so look, it's been two hours, this came out. I took a fork and kind of like just fluffed it up, right? You guys can take a look at this right here. This is nice. Now, I don't know if you guys gonna be able to see the consistency. Look, I'm just gonna make a ball like this, just with my hand and you can just see, look how it sticks together. Look, that right there, that's key, right? All right, so now we just go in here. Obviously, I got a set of gloves on. We're gonna make these about like yay big. Best thing to do is just make a ball like that. Then we just go ahead and mash them. You see this right here? This is what we want, folks. Now, I'm gonna give you guys a real heads up, right? I'm gonna put that there. What I'm doing is I'm bringing my pan up to temp. I'm gonna go ahead and melt my butter. Let me get this going right now. Once this melts, then I'll put that patty in there. But I wanna tell you that while we look at this patty right here, listen, my mouth is watering because I tasted it, folks. Listen, that's so underrated.

Butter's all melted. Now we just go ahead and put it down right there. Now you want them to kind of like be the same consistency and look the same, right? You can make them as flat as you'd like to. I like mine to be a little bit more on the thick side. So you just wanna make them uniform, right? This right here. And look how they stay together. I like this right here, folks. Man, it smells incredible too. We're about ready to come off. You know, with the crab cakes, we forming that crust on the bottom. Look, now it's come time to make that ramelade, right?
