Directions:Make sure that the crab and bay shrimp are both well drained and dry. If necessary, squeeze them slightly to extract the excess water. Grind the celery and the onion in a food processor. Place the ground celery and onions in a large bowl and add the shrimp, mayonnaise, eggs, cayenne, dry mustard, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Add in three-quarters of the Panko bread crumbs and blend. Fold in the crab. Do not overmix. Form into 4 oz patties. Place on a sheet pan or cookie sheet and sprinkle with the remaining Panko. Let the cakes refrigerate for at least an hour, but no more than 2 to 3 hours. These cakes can be deep-fried, pan fried, or lightly drizzled with oil and baked in a 400º oven. Serve with tartar sauce and garnish with lemon and parsley. If deep frying, fry until cakes are a deep golden brown; if pan frying, fry 3-4 minutes per side, until the cakes are a deep golden brown. |
