Paleo Crab Cakes

This recipe was originally shared on my "Modernish Homemaker" blog which I no longer run. It is still a great recipe though, so I wanted to share it here with you!

Ingredients
1 package lump crab meat (6 oz.)
7-8 medium shrimp, cooked, peeled, chopped
2 eggs
2 spring onions chopped
2 tbsp. coconut flour
1 tsp. arrowroot starch
1 tsp. lime juice
1 tbsp. bone broth
Old Bay Seasoning - to taste (or other gluten free seafood seasoning mix)
1-2 tbsp. of coconut oil and/or ghee for frying

Directions
Mix flours, seasonings then add eggs and broth. This should make a paste like consistency to which you add the crab and shrimp meat. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. Form into patties about 2" in diameter and 1/2-3/4" thick.

Heat coconut oil or ghee in large skillet. Add patties. Cook over medium heat until brown on both sides (about 3-5 minutes each side). Serve on salad or as lettuce wraps. Yields about 6 crab cakes.

Foodie Fridays - Stuffed Calamari

I originally posted this recipe on my old blog, hence the text in the picture, but I think it holds up. Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 large egg
1 tbsp. coconut or almond flour (gluten free or all-purpose flour will work as well)
2 oz. crab claw meat
6-7 shrimp, cooked, peeled and chopped
10-12 calamari bodies (tentacles removed)
2 green onions, chopped
1 tbsp. coconut manna (aka coconut butter)
Curry powder, sea salt to taste

Directions
Thaw and rinse your calamari bodies and set them on a plate. Beat 1 egg in a small mixing bowl, then stir in flour, chopped shrimp and crab claw meat. Then add coconut manna and green onions. Add a pinch of sea salt. Add curry powder last a little bit at a time to taste (you can always add more, you can't take it out once it's in though). The mixture should have the consistency of a thick paste or cookie dough.

Preheat oven to 350. You can try to stuff the calamari with a small spoon - but I found it easiest to just get messy and use my hands to stuff about 1 tbsp. of the mixture into each calamari. Then put them on a foil lined baking sheet, lightly salt them and then bake until firm (about 15 min). Serve them up plain, in lettuce wraps or over a salad. Make great appetizers or a nice seafood meal. Yields about 1 dozen.
