pound crabmeat, picked over to remove any shells  
/4 cup saltine cracker crumbs  
/2 cup minced red bell pepper  
tablespoons olive oil  
tablespoon unsalted butter  
Lemon wedges (for garnish)  
In a large bowl, stir together egg, mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil  
seasoning, pepper, salt and hot pepper sauce. Gently mix in the crabmeat, cracker crumbs and bell  
pepper. Form eight patties, each 3/4 inch thick. Warm the oil and butter together over medium−high  
heat. Fry the crab cakes 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden. Drain them.  
Serve immediately. These are so good that all you will need is a squeeze of lime or lemon juice over  
them.
