Crab and Shrimp Cakes are crispy seafood bites made with lump crab meat and shrimp, served with a zesty lemon aioli.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ lb lump crab meat
  • ½ lb shrimp (peeled, deveined, finely chopped)
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (Panko preferred)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped green onions
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or butter (for frying)
  • For the Zesty Lemon Aioli:
  • ½ cup mayo
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine crab, shrimp, breadcrumbs, egg, mayo, mustard, lemon juice, green onions, and seasonings. Mix until just combined.
  2. Shape mixture into palm-sized patties. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook cakes for 3–4 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown.
  4. Mix all aioli ingredients in a small bowl. Chill until serving.
  5. Plate the crab & shrimp cakes, top with a dollop of lemon aioli and a sprinkle of green onions. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Chilling the patties helps them hold together while cooking.
  • Use Panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
