How to Make Asian Shrimp And Crab Cakes

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  2. Gently fold in 1 cup cooked crab meat, 1/2 cup cooked shrimp (chopped), and 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Place 1 cup panko breadcrumbs on a plate.
  5. Divide the crab mixture into fourths. Take one-fourth of the mixture and gently press it into the breadcrumbs, turning to coat evenly.
  6. Shape the coated mixture into a 2 1/2-inch diameter cake.
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining crab mixture and breadcrumbs, forming 4 cakes in total.
  8. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat.
  9. Carefully place the crab cakes in the hot skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
