Yield 10 to 12 (3-inch) cakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
3/4 pound (41-50 count) shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 large sweet potatoes (about 3 cups grated)
1/2 cup minced scallions
1/4 cup minced shallots

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce and the fish sauce, then add in the shrimp. Cover the bowl and allow to marinate, in the refrigerator, while preparing sweet potatoes.
  • Peel and grate sweet potatoes. With hands, squeeze excess moisture from potato if necessary. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes and the remaining ingredients, except the flour, mixing well. Stir in the flour and mix to combine.
  • Remove the shrimp from the marinade to a cutting board, then chop and fold into the sweet potato mixture.
  • In a large heavy bottomed skillet, over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil. Form cakes, as flat as possible and carefully add first batch to pan. Fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on the first side and 1 minute on the second side. Remove to a serving platter and season with salt. Add remaining oil to the pan and cook the second batch. Serve immediately.
