Fake It Crab Cakes with Herb Mayo and Oven Fried Yams

This dinner is made with imitation crab meat and shrimp. Formed into patties and fried in butter, they make a rich sandwich.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of imitation crab meat, shredded
• 1 small can tiny shrimp
• 2 eggs, beaten
• ½ cup of bread crumbs
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 yams, scrubbed and sliced
• 2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash lemon pepper seasoning
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon dill
• 1 teaspoon dill pickle relish
• Optional: Hamburger buns

Preparation:
Put the yams in the microwave and cook on high for two minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Stir the first nine ingredients together in a bowl.
Form into patties.
Slice the yams.
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Lay the yams on the baking sheet and sprinkle with Mrs. Dash lemon pepper seasoning.
Bake in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until they are completely tender.
Mix the mayonnaise, dill, and pickle relish together to make the herb mayo.
Heat a pan and melt the butter and oil together.
Cook the crab cakes in the butter and oil 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned.
Serve the crab cakes on a bed of lettuce, or on a bun, whichever you prefer.
