Shrimp and Crab Cakes Recipe: An Engaging Blog for Stay-at-Home Parents
As stay-at-home parents, we often find ourselves looking for creative ways to cook with our children. One of our favorite recipes is for shrimp and crab cakes. It’s a fun, easy-to-make recipe that our children can help with and it’s something that the whole family enjoys. Plus, this recipe contains some of our favorite ingredients, giving it a special flavor.
But before we get into the recipe, let me tell you a story about how we first discovered this dish. A few years ago, we were on vacation at the beach in Florida. We had just finished swimming in the ocean and were looking for a place to eat dinner when we stumbled upon a seafood shack. We decided to give it a try and ordered their signature dish, shrimp and crab cakes. We were instantly hooked!
The shrimp and crab cakes were light yet flavorful, with the perfect crunchy texture that only comes when you pan fry them. The combination of sweet shrimp and juicy crab was perfection! We knew right away that we wanted to recreate this dish at home so that we could enjoy it whenever we wanted.
So, here’s how you can make your own shrimp and crab cakes at home. First, gather the following ingredients: one pound of cooked, peeled and deveined shrimp; one pound of lump crab meat; one cup of panko breadcrumbs; one egg; two tablespoons of mayonnaise; one tablespoon of Dijon mustard; two tablespoons of fresh parsley; one teaspoon of garlic powder; one teaspoon of paprika; one teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning; half a teaspoon of salt; and half a teaspoon of ground black pepper.
Once you have all your ingredients ready, it’s time to start cooking! Begin by chopping the cooked shrimp into small pieces and transferring them to a large bowl. Next, add the lump crab meat and mix everything together until combined. In a separate bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, Old Bay seasoning, salt and ground black pepper until everything is evenly distributed.
Now it’s time to form your patties. Take about two tablespoons of the mixture in your hands and shape it into a patty shape – think hamburger patty size – before transferring it to a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Repeat this step until you have used all the mixture (you should end up with about 12 patties). Then transfer your patties to the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 30 minutes before pan frying them in some olive oil or butter over medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown (you can also bake them in the oven at 375°F for 15 minutes).
And there you have it – your very own homemade shrimp and crab cakes! Serve them up with your favorite side dishes like potatoes or vegetables for a complete meal that’s sure to satisfy everyone’s taste buds! Enjoy!
