Ingredients:
***Scallop and Shrimp Cakes***
8 ounces saltine crackers
2 ounces Italian bread crumbs
3 eggs
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 dash Tabasco sauce
salt and ground white pepper to taste
10 ounces sea scallops, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
10 ounces shrimp
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 yellow bell pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
***Grilled Pineapple Relish***
1/2 cup diced grilled pineapple
1/8 cup minced red onion
1/8 cut minced red bell pepper
1/8 cup minced green bell pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
For Scallop and Shrimp Cakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Using your food processor, make crumbs with saltine crackers. Combine in a bowl with Italian bread crumbs. In the food processor, combine the egg, cilantro, garlic, ginger, Tabasco, salt and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are liquid.
In a large glass or stainless steel bowl, combine the shrimp and scallops with the egg mixture. Mix well until the seafood is coated with egg. Add 3/4 cracker crumbs and mix.
Divide into six balls. Form into cakes that are approximately 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Roll in the remaining crumbs until totally coated.
In a non-stick, ovenproof saute pan, heat the olive oil and saute the cakes until golden brown on one side. Turn them over and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Serve with Grilled Pineapple Relish.
For Grilled Pineapple Relish: Peel a pineapple and cut into 1/4" strips. Place strips on a hot grill (or pan sear with a small amount of olive oil). Grill for 1 minute on each side. Let cool.
Dice into 1/4" cubes. Gently toss all ingredients together to preserve their texture.
