8 oz lump crab meat
8 oz cooked lobster meat, chopped
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions
Mix the base
In a bowl combine mayo, egg, Dijon, lime juice, lime zest, Sassy Seafood seasoning, and garlic powder.
Add seafood
Gently fold in crab, lobster, green onions, cilantro, and panko. Try not to break up the crab too much.
Form cakes
Shape into 4–6 patties. Refrigerate 20 minutes to help them hold together.
Cook
Heat butter or oil in a skillet (or cast iron on the grill).
Cook cakes 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Make sauce
Stir together sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and seasoning.
Serve
Drizzle with lime sauce and garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
Grill Tip
You can cook these on a Blackstone or cast-iron skillet on the grill to get that slight smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with the citrus.
Optional Girls Gone Grillin’ Twist

½ tsp Cherry Chipotle seasoning for a subtle smoky heat
or
top with a small drizzle of Cherry Chipotle BBQ sauce + lime juice for a sweet-heat finish.
