Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large eggs eggs
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional and to taste)
- 0.75 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons green onions (finely chopped plus more for garnishing)
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika (regular paprika may be substituted)
- 1 pound fresh shrimp (cleaned and finely chopped)
- 3.5 tablespoons olive oil
Spicy Mayo
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (or to taste)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- To a large bowl, add the eggs, optional sriracha, and whisk to combine.
- Add the panko, green onions, salt, pepper, lemon zest, smoked paprika, and stir to combine.
- Add the shrimp and knead the mixture with your hands to evenly distribute the shrimp within the other ingredients. Form 4 large patties.
- To a large skillet, add the olive oil, shrimp cakes, and cook over medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. I recommend keeping the heat at medium so the shrimp cakes don't brown too quickly or get too dark. While they cook, make the spicy mayo.
- Add both spicy mayo ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine.
- When shrimp cakes are done, garnish with green onions, and serve with spicy mayo and lemon wedges.
Notes
Serve with spicy mayo and lemon wedges for a complete meal. These can also be served on buns as sandwiches.
