Notes
- We like nice, juicy chunks of shrimp in ours, so we chop them up that way. You can definitely process this if you want a finer consistency, or if you’re making a bigger batch. Just make sure to PULSE, so it doesn’t turn into a paste.
- For more flavor, try adding seasoned breadcrumbs instead of plain. You can also use panko for more crunch!
- Don’t forget to lay down parchment before arranging the patties, so the cakes don’t fall out of shape while cooking.
