Shrimp Cakes
These easy Shrimp Cakes are made with classic seafood seasonings and aromatics, then pan-fried to crispy and tender perfection. Enjoy them as a flavor-packed appetizer or main dish!
Servings: 14 patties
Ingredients
- 2 lb. raw shrimp peeled and deveined, patted dry
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
- 1/2 cup panko
- 1 tsp old bay seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice plus more for garnish
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Add the shrimp to your food processor and pulse 3-5 times until it’s broken up into larger chunks.
- Add the remaining ingredients except the olive oil to a large bowl and stir to combine. Then, add the shrimp and stir.
- Use your hands to gently form the mixture into 14 patties. I find it easiest to roll it into balls then use my palms to smash them down.
- Heat the olive oil in 2 large skillets over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp cakes and cook for 3 minutes, then gently flip over and cook for 3 more minutes until golden brown. Serve as-is or with an extra squeeze of lemon juice and enjoy!
