Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 lb lump crab meat with 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, and 1 beaten large egg until just mixed.
- Step 2: Shape the mixture into eight 2-inch diameter patties, being careful not to overwork the crab meat to keep it tender.

- Step 4: Meanwhile, mix 1/3 cup spicy remoulade sauce by combining mayonnaise, hot sauce to taste, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- Step 5: Toast 8 slider buns lightly, then assemble each with a crab cake and a generous spoonful of spicy remoulade. Serve immediately.
