CAJUN CRAB CAKES (NO BREADCRUMBS)
Two of the most crucial ingredients used in New Orleans cooking are Cajun spice and local seafood! Crab has always been my favorite type of shellfish, but I have never really cared much for crab cakes. The overpowering presence of seasoned breadcrumbs used in most recipes interferes with the sweet and delicate flavors of the fresh lump crabmeat. After years of experimenting with many of New Orleans' most famous crab cake recipes, I have created a flavorful, mouth-watering, delicious piece of work! The key is to use a small amount of crumbled crackers instead of breadcrumbs. I hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the celery, bell pepper, green onion, carrot, and garlic. Continue to cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes more.
- Season with 1 tablespoon parsley flakes, 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, basil, pepper, dill weed, oregano, and thyme. Cook and stir until fragrant, 5 minutes more.
- Transfer cooked vegetables to a large bowl; allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Set skillet aside for later use.
- Stir the beaten eggs into the vegetables. Mix in the crabmeat and cracker crumbs with your hands, making sure not to break up the chunks of crab too much.
- Shape the crab mixture into 12 small cakes.
- Heat vegetable oil in the skillet over medium high heat.
- Pan-fry the crab cakes in batches until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes.
- To make dipping sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, chile-garlic sauce, 2 teaspoon Creole seasoning, 2 teaspoon parsley flakes, and paprika.

CAJUN SEAFOOD CAKES
Any fish variety will work well in this recipe. The fish, shrimp, and scallops may be steamed, broiled, or placed in a saucepan with a bit of water and white wine, covered, and cooked slowly for about 10 minutes, until opaque and cooked through. You may substitute canned tuna or splurge with fresh crab in this recipe. If you prefer, make these cakes without shellfish. Try one on a bun with Creole Remoulade Sauce Recipe #373985 or resting against a bed of paste with marinara sauce. Found recipe in, "The Whole Foods Market Cookbook."

Steps:
- Cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes, until tender. Drain and mash lightly with a fork or potato masher.
- Preheat oven to 375°F In a nonstick pan, heat the 1 tbsp canola oil over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic, celery, Cajun spices, and Italian herbs for 2 minutes, until lightly browned.

CAROLINA FISH CAKES
These fish cakes are great with tartar or cocktail sauce or a simple squeeze of fresh lemon or lime. For a change of pace add a bit of chili powder, cilantro and jalapeno or a teaspoon of Cajun spice. Nice served with boiled red potatoes and a spinach salad. This recipe has two cooking options: you can fry the cakes or bake them -- it's up to you!

CAJUN SHRIMP CAKES WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE
These are fantastic! I use about 1 tablespoon of recipe#186029 in place of the seasoned salt. This recipe will give you about 14-16 patties, you can reduce to half if desired to give you 7-8 patties and use only a small egg. If you cannot fine Andouille sausage, then use kielbasa or smoked dry sausage. Use cooked shrimp for this. Plan ahead the total chilling time before cooking the cakes is 2-1/2 hours. I serve these with the lemon ailoi from my recipe#136361 For coating the outside cakes you can use panko.
