Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 120 grams Andouille sausage, finely diced
- 120 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 60 grams Mayonnaise
- 4 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Roughly chop half of the shrimp and finely chop the other half. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped shrimp, diced andouille sausage, panko breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, green onions, Cajun seasoning, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Mix until well combined, being careful not to overmix as this can affect the texture of the cakes.
Form the mixture into eight patties of equal size (about 2-3 inches in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them firm up.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp cakes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each shrimp cake for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked shrimp cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Cajun Shrimp Cakes warm with lemon wedges on the side and your choice of remoulade or tartar sauce.
