Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Dungeness crab meat, baby shrimp, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and chopped green onions. Mix gently to combine.

  2. 2

    Add Bindings

    Fold in the breadcrumbs and the beaten egg. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should have around 8-10 crab cakes depending on the size.

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

    Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or a side salad.
