In a food processor, combine the egg yolk, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, Dijon mustard, paprika, thyme, celery seeds, and black pepper. Pulse to combine. With the processor running, slowly add the olive oil through the feed tube until the mixture mixes together into a mayonnaise-like consistency. Set aside.

Cook the Crab Cakes
Place 2 large nonstick skillets over medium heat and add about 2 ½ tablespoons of butter to each pan. Once the butter is melted, add 4 crab cakes to each pan. Cook the crab cakes with care until they are heated through and turn a nice golden brown on both sides. Use a spatula to flip them once. This process usually takes about 5 minutes for each side.
