Directions
Combine crab meat and shrimp in a bowl. Add peppers and scallions; mix with a wooden spoon.
Add mustard, salt, pepper, Cajun spice and garlic mayonnaise; stir.
Stir in 1½ cups bread crumbs, mixing until thoroughly blended.
Shape mixture into 8 patties.
Sprinkle both sides with remaining ¼ cup bread crumbs.
Heat oil in a skillet until very hot. Add crab cakes and sauté on both sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
Bake crab cakes in a preheated 400-degree oven until crisp.
Spoon ¼ cup Champagne sauce on each of 8 serving plates. Place a crab cake on each plate.
Garnish with green olives and chopped tomatoes, if desired.
