Number Of Ingredients 18

16 uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined (about 1 pound)
1 large egg
1 green onion, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
2 cups panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs)

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon shallot, minced
1/3 cup cream
2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • To make the Cakes: Coarsely chop shrimp in processor. Add egg, green onion, lemon juice, mustard, cilantro, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Blend in using on/off turns. Add 1 cup panko and blend in using on/off turns. Form mixture into twelve 3-inch-diameter cakes. Roll cakes in remaining 1 cup panko; transfer to waxed-paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate 10 minutes. (Can be made up to 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry cakes until cooked through and golden brown on both sides, adding more oil to skillet as needed, about 6 minutes.
  • Spoon 3 tablespoons Chili-Lime Cream Sauce onto each of 6 plates. Place 2 shrimp cakes on each and serve immediately.
  • Market tip: Unseasoned Japanese breadcrumbs called panko, give these shrimp cakes a light, crispy coating. Dry white breadcrumbs make a good substitute. Panko is available in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets and at Asian markets.
  • For the sauce: Combine first 4 ingredients in heavy small saucepan. Boil over high heat until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add cream and boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Mix in chili-garlic sauce. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, whisking just until melted before adding next piece.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chili peppers: For a milder sauce, use ancho or guajillo peppers. For a spicier sauce, use cayenne or habanero peppers.
  • Toast the chili peppers before using them: This will help to bring out their flavor and aroma.
  • Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice will give your sauce a brighter, more vibrant flavor than bottled lime juice.
  • Add some acid to balance the flavors: A little bit of vinegar or white wine will help to balance the heat of the chili peppers and the richness of the cream.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked just until the cream is heated through and the flavors have had a chance to meld.

Conclusion:

This chili lime cream sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and even grilled chicken or fish. The sauce is also easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your meal, give this chili lime cream sauce a try.
