For extra crispy crab cakes, lightly spray the outside of each cake with cooking oil before air frying. Fresh lump crabmeat is highly recommended for the best texture and flavor. However, you can use claw meat as a more budget-friendly alternative. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, and white pepper to suit your preferred level of spiciness. These crab cakes can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. Serve these crab cakes with a side of coleslaw or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
