STEPS
1. Prep the crab cakes - Pour the breadcrumbs onto a large plate or baking sheet. Put the crab cakes into the breadcrumbs and gently flatten to desired thickness. Don’t overwork and just coat the outside, or they will become dry. They should still be a little wet in the middle.
2. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat with 1-2 tbsp oil or butter for cooking.
3. While the pan is heating, prep the lemon, cutting it lengthwise in half, then each half into thirds as wedges.
Enjoy!
