SERVES 5

YOU’LL NEED
2 tbsp butter
1/2 lb bay scallops
1/2 lb 31 to 40 size shrimp, deveined and tails removed
1 tbsp chopped fresh flat leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 lemon, zest finely grated
1 fresh mango, peeled, cut away from the pit and diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise • 1/4 cup Parmesan
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil, plus more as needed

FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE
4 ounces creme fraiche
4 ounces sour cream

MAKE IT
1) Add the butter, raw scallops and shrimp to a food processor with parsley, bread crumbs, garlic powder, and lemon zest, and pulse to chop coarsely.
2) Transfer to a mixing bowl and add mango, mayonnaise and Parmesan. (If necessary, add more mayonnaise to bind patties.) Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Form into 2-inch patties.
3) Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium heat and sear both sides of the seafood cakes, until golden brown. Leave each side undisturbed for about 2 minutes to allow the surface of the patty to set up and therefore avoid breakage.
4) Whisk together creme fraiche and sour cream to make dipping sauce. Serve with cakes.
