Crab & Shrimp Cakes

18 large raw shrimp shelled, cleaned, and chopped

8 ounces crab meat ( I used Phillips special crab meat) squeeze out excess liquid if any

1/4 cup egg beaters

1 T Dukes Mayo

1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning ( low sodium)

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 egg ( or equivalent of egg beaters) 

1/2 Cup Panko plain bread crumbs

Old bay to sprinkle on top

Cooking oil spray

                                         Peel and clean raw shrimp, then chop. Place in a mixing bowl. Add crab meat. Toss with fingers, then add remaining ingredients, mix well. Form into 6 equal balls, then flatten either on a platter, or cooking sheet.

Place them in the freezer for 15 minutes so they will hold shape when cooking.

In a nonstick fry pan, spray with cooking spray and heat pan. Cook until browned on one side then flip.

Continue cooking until shrimp are done. About 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and place on a platter.

NOTE: You may bake in a non-stick baking pan at 375 for 17 to 20 minutes. I spray tops with cooking spray to encourage browning.  Cooking times vary due to ovens.
