Recipe Notes
As I was working with panko for another recipe I remembered how much I love using them. This recipe is not crab cakes but it has the same flavors: crab, celery, peppers, and herb. You can add other flavors to your liking, such as a couple of teaspoons of Dijon mustard, some hot sauce, or red instead of green pepper. It has the great flavor of crab cakes without as much fuss and the panko gives it a nice crunchy texture.
