Put crab meat in a colander to let out any excess water (we patted ours dry) and set aside.
Combine mayo, mustard, Tabasco sauce, egg, salt and pepper. Fold in the crab meat until fully coated.
Slowly add in flour while mixing by hand. Once fully incorporated fold in the fresh parsley.
Form six uniform patties from the mixture.
Heat a skillet to medium-low and add 2 tbsp of butter ( we used 2 tbsp for three patties - feel free to use less if desired).
Place as many patties as can comfortably fit in the pan (remember you want to be able to flip them!)
Flip after about 10-12 minutes (the side facing down should be browned).
Repeat until all patties are fully cooked. We topped ours with more Tabasco sauce before enjoying!
