• 1 small green diced diced
• 1 small red pepper diced
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 ½ tablespoons real mayonnaise
• Dash of hot sauce
• Dash of Worcestershire
• Flour
• Butter
• Olive Oil

In a large bowl, mix first 12 ingredients thoroughly.  Crab should hold together – if it seems too dry, add a little more mayo, too wet – a little more breadcrumb.  Form small patties and lightly dust each with flour on both sides.

Heat skillet to med-high heat.  Add 2 tablespoons butter & a little olive oil to coat the bottom of skillet then gently fry crabcakes until golden brown on both sides.  Serve with lemon wedges and cocktail or tartar sauce!
