Ingredients
- 2 cups freshly ground baguette bread crumbs
- 1 cup mixed brunoise green, red, and yellow peppers
- 1/2 cup diced shallots
- 3 whole eggs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
- 1/3 cup half-and-half
- Pinch saffron (10 threads)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

- 2 lemons, zested and juiced
- 2 bunches basil leaves
- Sea salt and ground black pepper
- 1 pound jumbo lump crab meat
- 1 (11/4 pound) lobster
- Light olive oil, for sauteing
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine all bread crumb mixture ingredients.
- Poach lobster in water with lemon, basil and sea salt. (Rule of thumb is 5 minutes per pound.) Remove lobster from water and chill in ice water. Remove meat and shell and dice meat. Lightly pick through crabmeat.
- Add crab and lobster to mixture and gently fold mixture until combines. Lightly press mixture down in bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Form the crab cakes in to 3-ounce portions about a silver dollar wide and 1 1/2 inches tall.
- To a large saute pan, add enough light olive oil to fill about 1/2 inch high. Bring to 350 degrees F and add crab cakes. Cook until golden brown on both sides.

Where is the sauce recipe?
Other than this being left out it would be 4-5 stars.

I made this for my husband and there was so many crab cakes I sent some to work with him AND took some to work with me. They were a hit with my coworkers as well. Not a HUGE fan of super spicy food so I cut the red pepper back a LOT so as to be able to enjoy the flavor of the crab and lobster. OUTSTANDING and I highly recommend this recipe.
