OVIEDO, Fla. — We're headed to a "shack" for a combo platter that has everyone talking. Here are some award-winning recipes from TJ’s Seafood Shack in Oviedo:
Crab Cake Recipe:
Gently open and separate 6 lbs of crab claw meat and 3 lbs of lump crab, then put it in a bowl.
Make dressing in a separate bowl and whisk:
- 2.5 cups Mayo
- 1/2 cup Dijon
- 4 diced green onions (green portion only)
- 2 oz Worcestershire
- 1/2 oz Old Bay
- 2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 oz Cajun Seasoning
Now gently fold the dressing into the crab mix while adding 4 cups of panko for a binder. Let mixture sit 1 to 2 hours and saute away.
Lobster Salad Roll:
In a large bowl gently separate 4 lbs of lobster meat (use all parts).
Make a dressing in a separate bowl and whisk:
