Ingredients

Shrimp Cakes

  • 1 lb raw shrimp deveined, peeled and minced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 yellow onion finely minced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tbsp mayo
  • 3 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tbsp chives or green onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 3 tbsp oil for frying

Cilantro Lime Sauce

  • 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions

Shrimp Cakes

  • Add all the ingredients, except for oil into a mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
  • Heat a skillet with oil on a medium heat. Measure up 1/4 cup of shrimp cakes mixture and place onto the hot skillet.
  • Spread the mixture slightly to create the round shape. These shrimp cakes only take a few minutes to cook (about 2-3 minutes), so keeping track of the order they go in the pan means you know which ones to turn first.
  • Flip them over to the other side and fry for another couple of minutes.
  • Remove the shrimp cakes onto a plate lined with paper towel, to soak up the extra oils.
  • Serve warm with cilantro lime sauce.

Cilantro Lime Sauce

  • Combine all ingredients in the bowl and mix.
  • Season with salt and pepper and enjoy.
