Ingredients

Crabcakes

Shrimp Alfredo

Preparation

Crabcakes

1. Prepare the Crabcake Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped green onion, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the mixture until well combined.

2. Form the Crabcakes

With your hands, shape the mixture into patties, about 1 inch thick. You should be able to make approximately 4-6 crabcakes depending on size.

3. Fry the Crabcakes

In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crabcakes and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

4. Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

5. Cook the Shrimp

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the Gulf shrimp, salt, and black pepper, cooking until the shrimp turn pink and are opaque, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

6. Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the heavy cream. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

7. Combine and Serve

Add the cooked pasta and shrimp back into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss until everything is well coated. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and with the fried crabcakes on the side.
