SHRIMP CAKES RECIPE



Shrimp Cakes Recipe image

Switch things up and make shrimp cakes instead of crab cakes. You can prepare and refrigerate the shrimp cakes up to 4 hours before cook time. The sauce, which can be made up to 5 days in advance, is also delicious served on po'boys or any fried fish. Have extra horseradish? Add a peppery kick to coleslaw dressing, deviled egg filling, or macaroni and cheese. Just remember that a little bit goes a long way.

CRISPY SHRIMP CAKES WITH CHILE-LIME MAYO



Crispy Shrimp Cakes With Chile-Lime Mayo image

Savory fried shrimp cakes are popular in coastal areas in many parts of the world, with each region adding its own vibrant flavors to the mix. Here, the golden-edged patties are shot through with fresh basil and cilantro for brightness, chiles for heat and a little fish sauce (an ingredient often found in Southeast Asian recipes) for depth. Then, as an untraditional binder, crushed-up rice cakes are mixed in with the shrimp for an ethereal, especially crisp result. But panko or cracker crumbs make acceptable substitutes if rice cakes aren't available.

Categories     weekday, seafood, main course

Time 45m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 to 5 large original or lightly salted rice cakes, or 6 to 10 thin cakes (see Tip)
1 pound shelled large raw shrimp (20 to 24), coarsely chopped
1/4 cup minced shallot (or use onion or scallion)
6 tablespoons chopped cilantro
6 tablespoons chopped basil leaves, more for serving
3 tablespoons minced jalapeño or red chile pepper
2 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 lime
Safflower, peanut or grapeseed oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In the bowl of the food processor (or you can use a blender), add the rice cakes and pulse until you get 1 1/4 cups rice cake crumbs. Return 1/4 cup crumbs to the food processor, reserving the remaining 1 cup for coating the cakes.
  • Add shrimp, shallot, 4 tablespoons each of the cilantro and basil, and 2 tablespoons jalapeño to the crumbs. Add 2 teaspoons fish sauce, and a pinch each salt and pepper. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse, chunky paste. (Be careful not to overprocess; if using a blender, scrape down the sides frequently.) Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate while you make the sauce (at least 15 minutes and up to 24 hours).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, remaining cilantro, basil, jalapeño and fish sauce. Zest the lime into the bowl, then cut the naked lime into wedges and squeeze in some juice. Salt to taste. Reserve extra lime wedges for serving.
  • Spread remaining 1 cup rice cake crumbs out onto a plate or sheet pan. With wet hands to keep shrimp paste from sticking, form 2 tablespoons of shrimp mixture into a 1/2-inch-thick patty and put it on top of the crumbs. Repeat with remaining shrimp mixture, re-wetting your hands as necessary. Turn the patties over in the crumbs to coat both sides.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry patties in batches until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve shrimp cakes topped with more basil leaves, with chile-lime sauce for dunking and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.

2 teaspoons sugar
1 quart vegetable oil
For wasabi vinaigrette
1 tablespoon prepared wasabi paste
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (not seasoned)
White pepper to taste
For mirin sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons mirin
2 1/2 tablespoons dark shoyu (Japanese soy sauce)

4 fresh shiso leaves, thinly sliced
3/4 cup tightly packed katsuo bushi (dried bonito flakes)
1 1/4 ounces daikon sprouts, trimmed
Special Equipment
cheesecloth; a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Make dashi:
  • Wipe any sand or salt from kombu with a dampened cloth.
  • Bring water and kombu almost to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Add katsuo bushi and bring to a boil, then boil 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let stand 3 minutes, skimming any foam. Pour dashi through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a bowl.
  • Make shrimp mixture:
  • Cook carrot, onion, and mushrooms in 1/4 cup dashi, uncovered, in a small heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until carrot and onion are softened, about 4 minutes. Cool slightly.
  • Stir together shrimp, fish, vegetable mixture, yolk, sea salt, shoyu, and sugar in a bowl until combined well, then knead with your hands to form a paste. Chill, covered, until cold, about 1 hour.
  • Make wasabi vinaigrette:
  • Whisk together wasabi paste and mayonnaise, then add mirin and rice vinegar in a slow stream, whisking until blended well. Season with white pepper.
  • Make mirin sauce:
  • Bring mirin, shoyu, sugar, and 1/4 cup dashi to a simmer in a small saucepan. Stir cornstarch mixture, then whisk into mirin mixture and boil, whisking, 1 minute. Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.
  • Fry shrimp cakes:
  • Heat oil in a deep 10-inch skillet over moderate heat until it registers 250°F on thermometer. While oil is heating, form shrimp mixture into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) cakes. Fry cakes until light golden, about 2 minutes on each side, then transfer with a wide metal spatula to paper towels to drain. Transfer cakes with spatula to clean paper towels to drain again. Cut each cake into 1/2-inch-wide slices.
  • Assemble dishes:
  • Divide mesclun among 4 plates and sprinkle with shiso leaves. Arrange shrimp cake slices over salads and drizzle with vinaigrette and mirin sauce. Top each serving with 2 rounded tablespoons katsuo bushi, then with sprouts.

GARLIC SHRIMP WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE



Garlic Shrimp With Wasabi Mayonnaise image

These shrimp are indeed garlicy, and the mayonnaise spicy--that's why we love them so much-- but be forewarned. The wasabi mayonnaise also makes a nice dip for crudites. Preparation time includes marinating time for the shrimp

Provided by FlemishMinx

Categories     Sauces

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons lime zest
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 -4 teaspoons wasabi paste, to taste
1 lb shrimp, cleaned and peeled
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Stir together all the ingredients for the wasabi mayonnaise, beginning with 2 tsp wasabi paste, adding and tasting until you achieve your desired level of spiciness; place in the refrigerator until needed.
  • Stir together all the"FOR THE SHRIMP" ingredients, EXCEPT the shrimp.
  • When thoroughly combined, pour over the shrimp, and mix well making sure that each piece is well covered with the marinade.
  • Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate 15 minutes; do not go much beyond this time, or the lime juice will begin to"cook" the shrimp, making them tough.
  • Put the shrimp (marinade and all) in one layer in a large dry non-stick frypan over medium-high heat, season with pepper to your taste and saute just until pink.
  • I usually get them arranged in one layer, and by this time the first ones are beginning to color; I immediately begin to turn them over one by one and by then the first ones are ready to come out of the pan; by the time I've gotten to the last one they will all be cooked to my liking.
  • Remove to a serving dish and don't forget to bring the wasabi mayo out of the fridge.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your shrimp cakes.
  • Finely chop the shrimp. This will help them to bind together better and create a more cohesive cake.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs are more absorbent and will help to keep your shrimp cakes moist.
  • Add some grated ginger and green onions to the shrimp mixture. This will give them a delicious Asian flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the shrimp cakes. They should be cooked through, but still slightly tender.
  • Serve the shrimp cakes with a dipping sauce of your choice. Wasabi mayo is a classic, but you could also try a sweet and sour sauce or a spicy chili sauce.

Conclusion:

Shrimp cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a casual weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make shrimp cakes that are sure to impress your family and friends.
