Shrimp Cakes

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.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1lb shrimp, chopped small
  • ¼ cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • ½ cup flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, chopped
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • olive oil for frying

Directions

  1. 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.
