Divide crab mixture into 8 equal portions (about 1/2 cup each). Shape into a 3/4-inch-thick patty. Place remaining 3/4 cup panko in a shallow dish. Sprinkle one patty at a time with panko. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat both sides of crab cakes with cooking spray. Cook 4 crab cakes in pan about 7 minutes or until golden. Cook the next 4 crab cakes in remaining oil. To prepare sauce, combine broth, shallots and vinegar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 5 minutes) and remove from heat. Stir in butter. Serve with crab cakes. Delicious served with roasted Florida vegetables.
