Ingredients
- 1 cup Shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 1 cup Lump crab meat
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, green onion, egg, and lemon juice. Mix gently until just combined.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 20 minutes to help them firm up.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 4
Cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to gently flip the cakes to avoid breaking them.
Step 5
Transfer the shrimp and crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 6
Serve warm with your choice of tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or a squeeze of fresh lemon. Enjoy!
