Have not tried this yet but after a recent trip to the east coast I fell in love with crab cakes and this looks like an amazing variation! Originally from .
Ingredients:
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons bottled thai fish sauce (nam pla) or 2 teaspoons soy sauce
6 ounces canned crabmeat, drained, picked over, patted dry
3 ounces bay shrimp, chopped
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs, made from crustless french bread or 1 1/2 cups storebought breadcrumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
Directions:
1. Blend first 4 ingredients in medium bowl.
2. Mix in crabmeat, shrimp and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
3. Season with pepper.
4. Place remaining 1 cup breadcrumbs on plate.
5. Drop 1/4 of crab mixture into breadcrumbs; turn to coat.
6. Shape into 2 1/2-inch-diameter cake.
7. Repeat coating and shaping with remaining crab mixture and crumbs, forming total of 4 cakes.
8. Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat.
9. Add cakes and sauté until crisp, about 5 minutes per side.
