Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 red pepper (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons green onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 large eggs (whisked)
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Gently pulse shrimp in a food processor until coarsely chopped, but not pureed. Alternatively, you can finely chop them.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with all of the remaining ingredients. Use a fork to combine everything.
- Step 3: Divide mixture into 6-8 portions (depending on how big you would like to make them) and form each into a patty.
- Step 4: Heat cooking oil in a large pan, over medium high heat. Cook the shrimp patties for approximately 4 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through. You will likely have to do this in batches. [If the shrimp cakes are browning too quickly on the outside, lower the temperature to ensure they cook through evenly]
- Step 5: Serve with lemon wedges, sour cream or your favourite dipping sauce, if desired.
Notes
While raw shrimp provides the most tender texture, cooked shrimp can also be used. To reheat, use a skillet with a little oil over medium heat or warm in the oven at 350F.
