Savor the Ultimate Seafood Cakes Recipe by Linda

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups of bread crumbs with an Italian twist
• 1 cup of creamy mayonnaise
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons of zesty dill mustard
• 2 teaspoons of capers soaked in brine
• Juice from half a fresh lemon
• 1 teaspoon of flavorful Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon of aromatic dried dill
• 1 teaspoon of spicy Creole seasoning
• 1 teaspoon of finely chopped garlic
• ½ teaspoon of sea salt
• ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
• 3 cans of delicate white crabmeat (4.25 ounces each), well-drained
• 1 can of tiny shrimp (4 ounces), thoroughly drained
• 2 tablespoons of versatile canola oil, or more if needed

Step 1

Mix together bread crumbs, mayonnaise, eggs, mustard, capers and their brine, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, fragrant dill, zesty Creole seasoning, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, gently combine the crabmeat and shrimp. Carefully fold this seafood mixture into the mayonnaise blend until fully incorporated. Let the flavors meld by covering the mixture and letting it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Step 3

After the resting period, take the mixture out and shape it into 12 flavorful patties.

Step 4

In a large skillet, warm some oil over medium-high heat. Cook the seafood patties in batches, allowing them to sizzle and turn golden brown, approximately 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat this process with the remaining patties, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
