Ingredients

For the Crab & Lobster Cakes

For the Roasted Pepper Coulis

For the Basil Oil

Preparation

For the Crab & Lobster Cakes

1. Prepare the Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the jumbo lump blue crab meat and cooked lobster meat. Gently fold them together without breaking the crab meat.

2. Add the Bindings

Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and the beaten egg to the seafood mixture. Mix gently until combined.

3. Incorporate the Fillers

Stir in the panko breadcrumbs, green onions, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated.

4. Form the Cakes

Using your hands, form the mixture into large patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. Chill the Cakes

Cover the cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

6. Cook the Cakes

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the crab and lobster cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red bell peppers, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

In a blender, combine fresh basil leaves, olive oil, and salt.
