Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 3 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil
Instructions
Chop the raw shrimp into small pieces or pulse briefly in a food processor until roughly chopped. Be careful not to over-process into a paste.
Place the chopped shrimp in a large bowl. Add the egg, coconut aminos, coconut flour, green onion, cilantro, garlic, ginger, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into 8 equally sized patties. Place the patties on a plate lined with parchment paper.
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the prawn cakes to the skillet.
Cook the prawn cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Transfer the cooked prawn cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the prawn cakes warm, garnished with additional cilantro or a wedge of lime if desired.
