Shrimp Cakes
I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Are you getting back into the swing of things? My recipes are back to normal now with less fancy and more everyday meals. We enjoy seafood and fresh fish (especially when my husband catches it). Unfortunately one of my favorites is not something he can catch for us. So when shrimp goes on sale at the market I like to make shrimp linguini, shrimp scampi, shrimp salad and yummy shrimp cakes! Today I am happy to share my shrimp cakes recipe with you.
What You Need
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Lemon (2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, 2 Tsp. Lemon zest)
1/2 tsp. Ground chili powder
1 Jalapeño, about a teaspoon full ( seed and minced)
Pinch of salt
1/4 tsp. Black pepper
1/4 Cup flour
1/4 Cup green onions (tops and bottoms minced)
Food Processor
Non Stick Skillet
Pie plate or shallow bowl
Tea towel or paper towel
Before You Start– Clean peel, de-vein shrimp and pat dry with tea towel ( or paper towel)
Lets Make It! Combine shrimp the jalapeño, lemon juice and lemon zest, salt, and pepper in food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped. Pour the flour into the pie plate ( or shallow bowl). Shape the shrimp mixture into 8 patties and dredge in the flour. Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Place the shrimp patties into the oil and cook until golden brown ( about 2 -3 minutes per side.)
Serve with cocktail sauce
Serves 4 ( 2 each)
*Katie’s Tid Bits* Try making these with Italian bread crumbs instead of flour too.

I like to add a touch of spice my friend. Hugs!
These are beautiful! Can’t wait to try them. 🙂

Maryland Crab Cakes are my favorite, but only from a specific restaurant. I like shrimp too and these look like they’d make a nice substitute for me. Will have to give it a try.
Hi Su!! I am crazy about seafood. Shrimp and crab especially. This is an easy peazy recipe that is terrific for lunch or dinner. xo
Hi Katherine, these look amazing, thanks for sharing. I pinned it.

Hi Katherine,
My son loves shrimp and your recipe looks delicious! I love how there’s no filler and so it will be a cinch to convert to gluten free. I’m definitely pinning this…Thanks for sharing and aloha, Lori
please tell me how the gluten free version turns out. Smooches!
This looks so yummy! Thank you for the recipe!

I was actually getting bored with shrimp recently, but I think a shrimp cake would change my mind!
bored with shrimp, say it isn’t so, giggle. I can’t imagine ever uttering those words. LOL xo
These look fantastic. My hubby loves crab cakes especially homemade, so I may need to try this recipe, thanks for sharing.
I hope he likes this shrimp version xo
Oh….and I LOVE shrimp!

Looks tasty we will have to try this, as shrimp is my favorite sea food.
Thanks for the recipe.
Mine too, this recipe is easy and yummy! Hugs
I’ve never tried to make shrimpcakes or made them, but that is definitely going to change !
They look really delicious.
I hope you do and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Hugs
These sound great! Love that little kick of chili heat. And your photo is gorgeous!
My husband doesn’t care for crab (I know; what?) so maybe I could make these! I’ve never heard of shrimp cakes before but why not shrimp? Perfect!
I pinned the shrimp cakes. Looks really delish!
Happy New Year, Katherine!
We love shrimp but I have never made shrimp cakes. I plan to try these this week.
I hope you will enjoy them as much as we do. Hugs
This sounds incredible! I have had crab cakes but I have never had shrimp cakes. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
