Directions
Teresa’s Shrimp-n-Crab Cakes, These came about by accident-it is an alteration to a stuffing recipe Servings depend on how big/small you make your cakes-make small cakes for party appetizers, or make larger ones for lunch or dinner! Adjust to your liking by using all shrimp or all crab meat if desired , When I filtered the 200+ crab cake recipes with my fat and calories criteria, 4 recipes were returned This was one of them & I’m so glad! It just goes to show that crab cakes don’t have to be over the top in terms of calories and fat to be delicious used all crabmeat, added 1/4 c finely chopped orange pepper to the veggies (for color), and threw in a bit of dry mustard, Old Bay and worcestershire sauce as well I found that 1/2 c of breadcrumbs wasn’t enough – the cakes had a hard time staying together when cooking Next time, I think I’ll try baking them to cut down even more on the fat/calories & to see if they hold together a little better I served these with Lemon Dill Sauce #175398 over mixed baby greens Great meal!, These were delicious I cut the recipe in half and got 4 medium size cakes I added about 8 drops of tabasco sauce to the mixture, which gave it a nice little kick that’s a personal preference, as we like hot & spicy The cakes held together nicely and fried up to a beautiful, crispy, golden brown I forgot to put the sauce out to serve with them, but we were enjoying them so much that we didn’t even miss it These were so simple to make, I know I’ll be making them often Thanks Teresa
