With only 20 minutes of prep and endless crowd-pleasing potential, Shrimp and Cheddar Patties are the ultimate go-to recipe for seafood lovers.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped shrimp, grated cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic, and parsley.
Add the panko breadcrumbs, flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Whisk the eggs in a separate small bowl and add them to the shrimp mixture. Mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together when pressed.
Using your hands, form the mixture into patties that are about 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide and 0.5 inches (1.25 cm) thick. You should be able to make about 8-10 patties.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking. You can test by dropping a small piece of the mixture into the oil — it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully place the patties into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Use a spatula to gently flip the patties.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
