Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cakes

    In a large bowl, combine crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and one large egg. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a shallow bowl, place the flour. In another shallow bowl, beat the second egg. Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Dip each shrimp first in the flour, then into the beaten egg, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Crab Cakes

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    In the same hot oil, fry the shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the crab cakes and crispy shrimp on a platter. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
