Ingredients

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 tablespoons peanut oil
3/4 cup brunoised red onion
1/2 cup brunoised red bell pepper
1/2 cup brunoised yellow bell pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 pound lump crab meat
2 fresh jalapeno chiles, brunoised

2 tablespoons minced fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon leaves
2 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs), ground to a mealy consistency, divided
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup clarified butter
Remoulade sauce, recipe follows

Directions
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, garlic,
rosemary, and paprika. Reduce by half. Allow to cool to room temperature. In a
saute pan, heat the peanut oil. Sweat the onions and bell peppers until glossy.

Transfer to a plate and allow to cool to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, crab, jalapeno, basil, parsley, tarragon, 1
cup of ground panko, salt, white pepper, reduced cream, and Sauteed vegetables.
Carefully mix until well blended.
Scale the mixture into 3-ounce portions. Shape into round, slightly flattened
cakes, about 3-inch diameter by 1/2-inch thickness. On a baking sheet, combine the
remaining 1 cup of ground panko and flour. Coat the crab cakes generously.
In a saute pan, heat 1/4 cup of clarified butter. Pan fry 6 crab cakes at a time,
until golden on 1 side. Turn and transfer to preheated oven and bake for 2
minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining butter and crab cakes. Serve with
Remoulade Sauce.

with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
