Chef Jeremy Langlois of Latil’s Landing Restaurant shows us first hand how to make his famous Mango Crab Cakes. If you ever visit the Houmas House Plantation and Gardens, you’ll definitely want to give these a try. Here’s the recipe from Chef Jeremy’s website.

1/2 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
1/2 pound claw crabmeat
¼ cup diced red onions
¼ cup diced celery

Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
1 cup oil in a mixing bowl
Process
- Combine all ingredients except bread crumbs and oil.
- Blend carefully, being careful not to break the lumps of crabmeat. Dust in enough bread crumbs to hold the mixture together and pick up most of the moisture.
- Form the crab mixture into round patties, approximately one half inch thick and two and a half inches in diameter.
- Coat the outside of each crab cake lightly with remaining bread crumbs and pan-fry on each side until golden brown.
- Serve with Chipotle remoulade sauce.
