Lemon Garlic Shrimp Cakes
Finely chop the shrimp and add to a medium size bowl with the bread crumbs, onion powder, paprika, lemon zest, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Mix in the egg.
Make 7-8 shrimp cakes by rolling small handfuls of the mixture into a tightly packed ball, then flattening.
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan.
Add the shrimp cakes and cook about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. You may have to work in batches.
Tips and Techniques for the Best Shrimp Cakes
- To save time, add all of the ingredients for the shrimp cakes (except for the olive oil) to a food processor fitted with a blade and pulse a few times until the shrimp are finely chopped and the ingredients are all well blended.
- To serve shrimp cakes as appetizers, make them smaller and serve with a drop of Roasted Garlic Lemon Aioli on each one.
- Store leftover shrimp cakes in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
