Corn-Crusted Crab And Shrimp Cakes With Summer Herbs Sauce
- Summer Herbs Sauce
- 1 cup mayo
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- Minced zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Crab and Shrimp Cakes
- 8 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
- 8 ounces shrimp, peeled, deveined, and roughly chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 celery rib, finely diced
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1. Prepare the Summer Herbs Sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- 2. Combine the crabmeat, shrimp, bell pepper, scallions, celery, corn, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and Tabasco in a large bowl; mix well.
- 3. Chill crabmeat mixture minimum of 1 hour.
- 4. Place the cornmeal in a shallow dish. Shape the crab and shrimp mixture into 8 equal cakes. (Can be made into smaller cakes if wanted.) Dredge each cake in the cornmeal to coat both sides well.
- 5. In a large skillet set over medium-low heat, heat the oil until it ripples. Carefully add a few of the crab cakes and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. (Shorter time for smaller cakes.) Cook the remaining cakes, adding more oil, if necessary. Serve warm, with the Summer Herbs Sauce.
