# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine lump crab meat, chopped shrimp, panko bread crumbs, mayonnaise, egg, green onions, red bell pepper, parsley, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix gently until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
02 -
Form the mixture into 8-10 patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Place patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, dill pickle, Dijon mustard, and fresh dill (if using) for the tartar sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
04 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly dredge each patty in flour, shaking off excess. Fry patties in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; add more oil if needed for subsequent batches.
05 -
Transfer cooked cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot crab and shrimp cakes with homemade tartar sauce and lemon wedges. Pair with a green salad or roasted vegetables.
