Shrimp & Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation of Shrimp & Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine shrimp, crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, beaten egg, parsley, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
