Cornbread Shrimp Crabcakes

Cornbread Shrimp Crabcakes 2 cups prepared cornbread, crumbled ⅔ cup red pepper, finely diced ½ cup green onion, sliced ⅓ cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon sour cream ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped 2 teaspoons fresh cilantro, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 2 large eggs, beaten 1 teaspoon old bay seasoning 2 teaspoons olive oil salt, to taste pepper, to taste 1/2 lb fresh lump crab meat and 1/2 lb shrimp vegetable oil, for frying In a large bowl, crumble the cornbread into fine crumbs until you have about 2 cups worth. Add the red pepper, green onion, mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, cilantro, garlic, beaten eggs, Old Bay seasoning, olive oil, salt, pepper, and crab meat, and shrimp to the bowl. Break up the crab meat into fine pieces until it is all uniform in size. Mix all the ingredients together with your hands or a wooden spoon until evenly combined. Form the mixture into small patties, or whatever size you prefer. Add enough vegetable oil to a large skillet to come about ¼-inch up the sides. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350˚F. Fry the crab cakes in batches, about 3-4 at a time. Cook on each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce, or they’re great just on their own!
