Baked Crab & Shrimp Cakes

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

In a pot of boiling water, add shrimp and cook 2 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool. Once cooled, cut into small pieces. Transfer into a mixing bowl. Add lump crab meat and gently stir, breaking up crab meat. Add diced bell pepper, celery, scallions, sour cream, mayonnaise, black pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Stir well to combine.

On a clean plate, add panko or breadcrumbs. Using a scoop or large spoon (or clean hands, which is what I do), pat out the crab and shrimp mixture into patties, about 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Coat both sides well with panko. Place in a nonstick baking dish in a single layer. Drizzle with oil and bake 8–10 minutes.

We love these served with any type of rice and vegetable side dish. Enjoy!
