How To Make shrimp cakes
-
1Using a food processor, blend the bread until it becomes a fine crumb, then transfer to a medium bowl. To that bowl, add the celery, lemon zest, lemon juice, mayo, and salt and pepper.
-
2Next, add the shrimp, cilantro, chives and garlic to the food processor and pulse until it becomes a textured paste.
-
3Add the shrimp mixture to the bowl and stir to combine.
-
4Form small patties and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to a medium heat. You can also use a frying pan over the stove. When grill is ready, spray cooking oil on the patties (or oil your grill) and cook for approximately 3-5 minutes per side, until they are a crispy golden brown.
-
5Remove and serve on a bun, or naked with your favorite side dish, salsa or yogurt blend.
