Seafood Sampler Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cake Minis

    In a bowl, combine crab meat, breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter, and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the crab cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Calamari and Shrimp

    In a separate bowl, season calamari rings and butterflied shrimp with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  5. 5

    Fry the Calamari and Shrimp

    Using the same oil, fry the calamari for 2-3 minutes until golden. Remove and drain on paper towels. Then, fry the shrimp for 1-2 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Drain.

    Serve the Seafood Sampler

    Arrange the crab cake minis, calamari, and butterflied shrimp on a platter. Serve with your choice of dipping sauces.
