Crab and Rice Croquettes

Crab and Rice Croquettes are a Cajun  style version  of crab cakes which use rice  as a binder and filler, and are fried until crisp.

Crab and Rice Croquettes are my recipe of the day with Fish  Friday Foodies. I am hosting this month and decided upon the theme of comfort food fish and seafood recipes. I have been stressed out (haven’t we all?) and thought I could use something relaxing to eat.

This is a fairly easy recipe that bulks out the crab content with the addition of cooked rice as a binder. You  may have had crab cakes with less ingredients and this is a slightly different, more budget minded version.

Of course, the rice itself, being a Jambalaya mix, has tons of flavor. So try not  to  imagine  some  boring plain Jane white rice in  there. This is rice you could eat by itself.

You can serve these as an appetizer or main dish (with the addition of something like slaw  and fries).

The   croquettes  also freeze well and heat up easily after thawing  in  an oven or air fryer.
