Ingredients
- 1 pound uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup panko, plus extra for coating
- 1 heaping tbsp chopped parsley
- 4 scallions, white pale green parts only, finely diced
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/2 lemon
- oil for frying
- kosher salt
Steps:
Pulse the shrimp in a food processor until coarsely chopped.
Combine the shrimp, 1 cup panko, parsley, scallions, cayenne, and egg in a large bowl.
Add a few good squeezes from half of the lemon and 1/2 tsp of kosher salt.
Mix well, and then form into cakes.
Then roll the cakes into the extra panko and reserve.
You can keep this ready in fridge for few hours (or freeze) and cook later.
Heat a layer of oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan (about 1/4″ thick).
When hot, add the patties. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
After about 2 minutes, flip the cakes and turn the heat down to medium.
They cook very fast, so after another minute or two, remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately
