Crab & Lobster Cakes Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, lobster meat, diced green apple, diced mango, cooked corn, and black beans. Gently fold to combine.

2. 2

   Add Wet Ingredients

   To the mixture, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, beaten egg, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.

3. 3

   Incorporate Bread Crumbs

   Gradually add the bread crumbs to the mixture until it reaches a consistency that holds together well when formed into patties.

4. 4

   Form the Cakes

   Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 1 inch thick. Place them on a plate or baking sheet.

5. 5

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

6. 6

   Cook the Cakes

   Carefully place the patties in the skillet, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. 7

   Drain and Serve

   Once cooked, transfer the cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of relish or dipping sauce.
