Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Italian-style bread crumbs
1 cup mayonnaise
2 eggs
2 teaspoons dill mustard
2 teaspoons capers with brine
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 (4 1/4 ounce) cans white crabmeat, drained
1 (4 ounce) can tiny shrimp, drained
2 tablespoons canola oil, or as needed

Directions

1 Combine bread crumbs, mayonnaise, eggs, mustard, capers and brine, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dill, Creole seasoning, garlic, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl; mix until well combined.
2 Combine crabmeat and shrimp in a small bowl. Fold into the mayonnaise mixture until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3 Remove from the refrigerator and form into 12 patties.
4 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook seafood patties in batches in the hot oil, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil if needed.
