Thinking of what a crab cake is (at least in New Orleans), i.e. a breaded patty of crab, with all respect, I'm not certain the suggestion from other posters are accurate. How about:
"cangrejo empanizado"
"empanada de cangrejo"

Empanizado I could agree with. Empanada no. And here we call it jaiba. - gringojrf, Apr 14, 2015
Thanks, gringo. Can you tell me, is empanada more of a "pie" or a pastry filled with meat, and empanizado more like breaded meat? - Winkfish, Apr 14, 2015
Wink, you are exactly correct. - gringojrf, Apr 14, 2015
Gracias, Gringo. Ahora tengo hambre! ;-) - Winkfish, Apr 15, 2015

Shredded meat is called machaca or deshebrada. So my best guess would be machaca de jaiba empanizada or jaiba deshebrada empanizada.
If you only say jaiba empanizada then you are referring to crab meat in chunks not shredded.
