Ingredients
- 200 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams lump crabmeat
- 100 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 60 grams mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 whole lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Roughly chop the shrimp and set aside. Pick through the crabmeat to remove any shell fragments.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onions, parsley, lemon zest, beaten egg, old bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.
Step 3
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 2.5 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them firm up.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seafood cakes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 5
Cook the seafood cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the seafood cakes warm with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
