This recipe is one of our favorites and we made these with a combination of baby shrimp and imitation crab meat ( you can also use canned lump crab meat).

These patties are very flavorful with all the delicious seasoning for any seafood lover that melds together perfectly into patties.

Sauteed in a mixture of butter and olive oil, they are made in less than 30 minutes.

Serve these up with fresh lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or our favorite a drizzle of hot sauce.
