Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package directions and keep warm.
  2. Press the Cajun seasoning onto both sides of the frozen crab cakes. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the cakes for 6 to 7 minutes per side, until a dark, spiced crust forms and they are heated through, then transfer to a plate.
  3. Make the sauce: in the same pan, melt the butter and soften the garlic and green onion whites for 1 minute. Pour in the cream and stock, add the Cajun seasoning, and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon the rice onto plates, set the blackened crab cakes on top, and pour over the Cajun cream sauce. Finish with green onion tops, parsley, and a lemon wedge.
