Shrimp Cakes
Time: 15 minutes prep, 15 minutes cook
Servings: 8 small patties
Directions
- Mix flour, salt and pepper. In separate bowl beat egg than add to flour mixture. Add shrimp, onion, bell pepper, parsley, breadcrumbs and cheese. Heat oil in frying pan (about 1/4" thick which in a medium frying pan ends up being about 1/4 cup or so) until very hot. To test stick the handle of a wooden spoon into the oil, if the oil around the handle bubbles its ready. Make shrimp mixture into patties and fry for about 3 minutes on each side until its a nice golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with Tartar Sauce.

Summary
These are great on a bed of mixed greens (maybe with goat cheese & tomatoes), layered with Fontina cheese & tartar sauce on sliced sourdough, over rice or eaten between bun.

July 24, 2010I am planning to make your shrimp cakes for my wedding on August 7, 2010. I will try baking them in a muffin pan, and mix the olive oil with the ingredients beforehand. What do you think of using a baking method? I would also like to use shredded pecorino cheese instead of parmesan. Thanks!
