you want to start the shrimp topping before you make the crab. if you want to use fresh seasonings, just cook them down before you add the shrimp

pre-heat oil in shallow pan

season the shrimp with Louisiana season salt and saute' the shrimp in oil until they turn pink, then add 2 T. flour, onion, garlic, celery, bellpepper and cook that for another 5 minutes or until flour starts to darken and then pour in your broth, I used chicken 'cause its all I had on hand use what you have. cover this and let simmer on low, go make crabby pattys

clean crabmeat, check for little pieces of shell and dump in a medium mixing bowl

add the bread crumbs to crab and fold together

now into the crab put in Heinz sauce, Worcestershire, and mayonnaise, onion and garlic powders also the celery

now mix eggs together in another dish and add to the crab

mix all this together really well, mixture will be very wet

now that you have a wet mixture, you start slowly folding in flour, you made need more or less depending on wetness

in shallow frying pan begin heating just enough oil to coat the whole bottom of pan

using a large spoon, drop crab by spoonfuls in hot oil, do not press down , wait 1 minute and roll each patty over and now press down and cook for just another 1-2 minutes then remove to a paper towel.
