CHINESE SHRIMP CAKES

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Lightly "smash" them with the side of a knife, and coarsely chop them. Be careful not mince the shrimp into pieces that are too small.
• Split a small carrot (about 50 g) in half crosswise and then lengthwise, and blanch the pieces in boiling water for about 2 minutes until lightly softened. Drain and finely dice the blanched carrot.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the coarsely chopped shrimp, finely diced carrot, minced water chestnuts, ¼ cup cilantro, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine, ½ teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper, 2 teaspoons oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ¼ teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1 egg white. Whip everything together for about 5 to 10 minutes in one direction, until the mixture is sticky and all ingredients are well combined. You should be able to gather it into one big smooth ball with a rubber spatula, i.e. it should be sticky and cohesive.
• Now, heat a flat bottomed frying pan over medium high heat (nonstick or cast iron works best), until it starts to smoke lightly. Add 2 tablespoons oil and turn the heat down to medium. Take a large spoonful of the shrimp mixture, and use another spoon to form a ball. You can also do this with oiled hands.
• Drop it into the pan and quickly press it into a disc. (To avoid sticking, you can brush the spoons with oil beforehand.)
• Pan-fry each side for about 3 minutes, until golden brown. Add the last tablespoon of oil if needed during pan-frying.

FRIED SHRIMP CAKES

Steps:

• Process or blend the shrimp with the garlic, scallions, salt, flour, sherry, and enough water to make a thick batter. Let stand, covered with plastic film, for 1 hour. Then fry, in drops of 1 heaping teaspoon, into the oil poured to a depth of 2 inches in a pan, for about 1 minute each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

PAN-FRIED SHRIMP CAKES WITH ARUGULA AND WATERCRESS SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the shrimp cakes: Add the shrimp to a food processor and pulse 4-5 times, until minced but not mushy.
• In a large bowl, mix together the shrimp, shallot, jalapeño, eggs, panko, chives, lemon zest, paprika, cayenne, a pinch of salt, the lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
• Using a 1-ounce (30-g) scoop, portion out the shrimp mixture and gently flatten into patties.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties, in batches if necessary, for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145˚F (63˚C). Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season lightly with salt.
• Make the roasted red pepper sauce: Add the peppers, red wine vinegar, almonds, shallot, garlic, and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds, until smooth. With the blender running, slowly stream in the olive oil to emulsify. Thin with the reserved red pepper liquid, if necessary.
• Assemble the salad: Add the arugula and watercress to a large bowl. Add a drizzle of olive oil, the lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well.
• Divide the salad between serving bowls and top with the shrimp cakes and roasted red pepper sauce.
• Enjoy!

PAN-FRIED SHRIMP CAKES

Steps:

• 1. Make the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside. 2. Prepare the cakes: Wrap the tofu in paper towels and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. In a large bowl, combine the tofu, shrimp, beef, vermouth, 1 egg, scallion, garlic, sesame oil and seeds (if using), two large pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Mix well, using your hands if necessary. Divide the mixture into 8 balls, each roughly 1/3 cup. 3. Spread the flour on a small plate. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the remaining 2 eggs with a few drops of water. Place the ingredients and a paper-towel-lined tray by the stove. 4. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Meanwhile, working with 4 balls, dredge each in flour and coat with the egg. Quickly add the balls to the skillet, flatten them with a spatula to about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and cook until the shrimp turn pink and the coating is golden, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip the cakes and cook for about 1 1/2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. 5. Serve the cakes, two per person, with the dipping sauce. Garnish with the lemon wedges and parsley. Serves 4.
