Savory Seafood Cakes: A Delightful and Flavorful Twist

Ingredients

• 1 lb of medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and diced
• 1 lb of crawfish tails, peeled and diced
• 8 oz of saltine crackers, crushed
• 10 scallions, finely chopped
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp of finely diced red bell pepper (Optional)
• 2 tbsp of creamy mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 ½ tsp of ground dry mustard
• 1 ½ tsp of garlic powder
• 1 tsp of spicy cayenne pepper
• ½ tsp of seafood seasoning blend (like Old Bay®)
• 1 cup of crispy panko bread crumbs
• ½ cup of premium olive oil

Step 1

Blend together a medley of succulent shrimp, flavorful crawfish, crunchy crackers, fresh scallions, farm-fresh eggs, vibrant bell pepper, creamy mayonnaise, a drizzle of olive oil, zesty dry mustard, aromatic garlic powder, a dash of cayenne pepper, and a sprinkle of seafood seasoning in a mixing bowl until the flavors harmonize beautifully.

Step 2

Shape the amalgam into delightful patties, each one around 3 inches wide and 1/2-inch thick. Gently coat them with a dusting of crispy panko breadcrumbs to add a delightful crunch.

Step 3

In a deep skillet, warm up about half a cup of oil over medium to medium-high heat. Sizzle the patties in the hot oil until they turn a gorgeous golden brown hue, approximately 3 minutes on each side.
