Steps:
- Finely mince the shrimp and set aside, reserving the.
- Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, then saute the shrimp shells with the garlic and shallots.
- When the shells turn pink, add the paprika and the sherry. Continue to cook until the sherry has reduced by half (this won't take very long).
- Strain the mixture, and return the liquid to the pan. Add the diced shrimp and the heavy cream. Keep cooking until the sauce thickens (it should coat the back of your spoon). Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
- Put the breadcrumbs and crab meat into a medium sized bowl and set aside. With your mixer, beat the egg whites until you get stiff peaks, then fold into the crab mixture.
- Gently add the peppers, yolks, Caribbean seasoning, Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces.
- Form the crab mixture into small cakes (you should get six to eight from this recipe) and dust with flour.
- Fry in the remaining 1 tbsp butter. When they are golden brown, flip and continue to fry until the other side is also golden brown.
- To serve, pour the shrimp sauce over.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong with my crab cakes, but they turned out really bad. They were so mushy and the shrimp sauce was way too runny. I think I might have overcooked the crab cakes or used the wrong type of crab meat.

[email protected]These crab cakes were a disaster! They were so dry and crumbly, and the shrimp sauce was way too spicy. I will definitely not be making this recipe again.

[email protected]I thought this recipe was just okay. The crab cakes were a bit bland, and the shrimp sauce was a bit too thick. I think I would have added more spices to the crab cake mixture and used a thinner sauce next time.

[email protected]These crab cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have added more mayonnaise or butter to the mixture. The shrimp sauce was delicious, though.

[email protected]The crab cakes were delicious, but the shrimp sauce was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce, such as a lemon-butter sauce.
