Seafood Cakes With Cilantro Vinaigrette

Oil, for cooking

1 shallot, minced

1/4 cup minced red bell pepper

6 ounces peeled cooked shrimp

10 ounces sea scallops

2 1/2 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs), divided

1 egg, beaten slightly

2 tablespoons whipping cream

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, divided

1/3 cup chopped cilantro

2 tablespoons chopped chives

1/2 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground pepper

Heat a 10-to 12-inch skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, add the shallot and red pepper. Cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Set them aside.

Chop the shrimp and scallops into pea-size pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup panko, the beaten egg, whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan, the cooked shallot and red pepper, the cilantro, chives, salt and pepper to taste. Stir together gently until combined. Form the mixture into 8 (2 1/2-to 3-inch) cakes. Place the remaining panko and Parmesan on a plate and stir to mix. Roll each cake in panko to coat and set aside.

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.

Heat the same skillet over medium heat and add 1/4 cup oil. When the oil is hot, add the cakes and cook until lightly browned, then flip them. They should take 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
