crispy shrimp cakes
We found yummy little dish in Redbook. Since we were traveling for a friend’s wedding celebration in San Fran, I always stock up on random magazines. Great find!
And it is super easy – Brendon made this for us.
Ingredients:
Shrimp cakes
2 cup(s) panko breadcrumbs
1 pound peeled, deveined frozen shrimp, thawed, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/3 cup chopped scallions
2 teaspoons garlic paste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup(s) canola oil
Lemony tartar sauce:
3/4 cup jarred tartar sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
To make shrimp cakes:
Place 1 1/2 cups of the breadcrumbs on a flat plate.
In a bowl, mix shrimp, mayonnaise, eggs, bell pepper, scallions, garlic paste, mustard, pepper, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs until combined. Use a ⅓-cup measure to scoop shrimp mixture and make a shrimp cake. (Mixture will be wet.) Turn out cake onto plate of breadcrumbs; coat completely. Make 7 more cakes with the remaining shrimp mixture and transfer them with a flat metal spatula to a baking sheet lined with waxed paper; flatten cakes slightly, to a 3½-inch circumference. Refrigerate 1 hour.
To make lemony tartar sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients, stirring to blend.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add 4 cakes and cook, about 4 minutes per side, until crisp and browned. Transfer to a plate; loosely cover with foil to keep warm or place on a baking sheet lined with nonstick foil and keep warm in a 200 degree oven. Repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 4 cakes. Serve shrimp cakes with lemony tartar sauce.
