Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups canola oil
1/2 pound Maine or Dungeness crabmeat
3 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons scallions, thinly slices
1 1/2 tablespoon red bell pepper, finely diced
1/4 cup mayonnaise or aioli
1 tablespoon Tabasco
1 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, divided (preferably Panko)
2 Tbs cup lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 beaten egg
2 mangos
2 cups water
1 teaspoon confectioner sugar

Steps:

  • In a 10 inch saute pan, heat 1 cup canola oil on high heat. Test readiness with a piece of bread. Turn heat to medium. Check temperature with thermometer - it should read 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine crab, onion, scallions, bell pepper, mayonnaise, Tabasco, 1/4 cup of the breadcrumbs, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until fully incorporated. Make 3 ounce cakes and dredge in the flour, then egg and the remaining breadcrumbs. Lay the cakes in the oil and pan-fry for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel and season with salt in a mixing bowl.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • In a blender combine ingredients and mix until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To serve crab cakes, spoon puree onto the plate in a small pool. Slice the cake in half and lay the bottom portion in the puree. Spoon avocado salsa on top and place the top of the cake on the avocado like a sandwich. Top with a small amount of avocado and garnish with cilantro leaf.

Sure, you can definitely use shrimp instead of crab in this recipe. It will be just as delicious!

I'm not sure about the mango coulis. I think I'll just use a simple lemon-butter sauce instead.

These sandwiches were so easy to make and so delicious! I used canned crab meat, and it worked perfectly. The mango coulis was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I just used less of it.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these sandwiches. The crab and avocado were so fresh and flavorful, and the mango coulis added a nice tropical touch. I'll definitely be making these again!

This recipe was delicious and easy to follow! I used fresh crab meat and ripe avocado, and the mango coulis added a perfect touch of sweetness and tang. My family loved it!
