(Mom did another Lunapic photo effect on me!)

Now that you’ve seen Teddy – let’s Shop!

This is the Hop that’s usually hosted by Bacon at Pig Love but he’s been “sharing the hosting” with the Shopping Hop for a while now and this month, Shoko and Kali of Canadian Cats are hosts.   They challenged us to come up with a seafood recipe of any kind!   Share the ingredients and the costs then visit everyone else to compare prices of things – it’s super interesting AND you get some good recipes too!

This is a delicious recipe for “Crunchy Crab Cakes”………….Mom leaves out the pimiento but that’s just HER.   She says she can’t taste them anyway so why add them???    HAHAHA   

Ingredients

• 1 (16-oz.) package fresh lump crabmeat, drained   (8oz. CLAW meat $4.97)
• 4 large lemons, divided   (69 cents each)
• 1 (4-oz.) jar diced pimiento, well drained
• 2 green onions, chopped  (79 cents a bunch)
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten – on hand
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise – on hand
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning – (3 oz. $3.00)
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (9 oz. $2.69)
• 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), divided (8  oz. $1.99)
• 1/4 cup canola oil – on hand

How to Make It

1. Pick crabmeat, removing any bits of shell.

2. Grate zest from 2 lemons to equal 2 tsp.; cut lemons in half, and squeeze juice into a measuring cup to equal 1/4 cup. Stir together lemon zest and juice, pimiento (unless you’re my Mom and then you don’t add it!), and next 5 ingredients until well blended. Gently fold in crabmeat and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.

3. Shape mixture into 8 patties. Dredge patties in remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.

4. Cook half of patties, in 2 Tbsp. hot oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown; drain on a wire rack. Repeat procedure with remaining oil and patties.

5. Cut remaining 2 lemons into wedges. Serve crab cakes with lemon wedges.

 TALK ABOUT YUMMY???    And I get a bit of crab meat all for myself too!

Happy Sunday!!!!  Love, Teddy
