Blue Ribbon Recipe by

My family and friends love it and when we have a fish fry and I make some shrimp, crab, and lobster cakes. It is so easy to fix it. They are so delicious and tasty.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We have had a lot of crab cakes and tuna croquettes in our lives, but had never thought about chopping up shrimp and using that in a shrimp cake. We love the crunchiness that Panko gives to this dish! If you want to kick the heat up a notch, add cayenne pepper or even chopped jalapenos. This is a super easy and delicious dish to try at your next dinner!
