Elegant Southern Seafood Cake Recipe

ingredients

1 package Cornbread mix, prepared
1 Red bell pepper, small
2 cloves garlic
1 pound lump crabmeat
1/2 pound flounder fillets
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
white pepper, to taste
1 Red onion, small
1 Green bell pepper, small
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound shrimp
1/4 pound scallops
2 tablespoons lime juice
salt, to taste
6 tablespoons clarified butter

directions

Well in advance, prepare cornbread according to package directions. Cool and process in food processor or blender to make fine crumbs. Set aside.

Finely chop onion. Remove seeds and veins from Peppers and hop into approximately 1/2 inch pieces. Peel, chop, and finely crush garlic. Saute onion in 10 inch frying pan in hot olive oil until soft, about 4 minutes.

Add peppers and garlic and continue cooking until peppers are almost tender. Meanwhile, peel shrimp. Coarsely chop shrimp, scallops and flounder. Remove onion/pepper mixture from heat and add seafood, mayonnaise and lime juice. Stir gently to prevent breaking up crab. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne.

Shape into patties and coat both sides with cornbread crumbs. (May now be placed on a plate and refrigerated for up to an hour). When ready to serve, heat 2 tablespoons of the clarified Butter in the frying pan over a moderately high flame.

Saute 3 cakes at a time until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes. Add more butter as necessary. Serve.
