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:

  • 1.5 cups mayo
  • 1 cup finely diced cucumber (peeled and deseeded)
  • 1 cup finely diced celery
  • 2 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz finely diced tarragon
  • 4 chopped green onions (green portion only)
  • 1/2 oz of old bay

Gently fold the dressing into the Lobster Meat. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Use a Nissen Bun (otherwise known as a New England Hot Dog Bun) for your lobster roll. Butter both sides and let toast in a pan until golden brown.

Serve with a generous portion of lobster salad.
