| Lemon wedges or slices (optional) | |
PREPARATION:
- Combine crabmeat, cracker crumbs, celery and onion in medium bowl; set aside.
- Mix egg substitute, tartar sauce and seafood seasoning in small bowl; pour over crabmeat mixture. Gently mix so large lumps will not be broken. Shape into 6 (3/4-inch-thick) patties. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Spray large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add oil; heat over medium-high heat. Place crab cakes in skillet; cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until cakes are lightly browned. Garnish with lemon wedges or slices, if desired.
