Easy, ready in 20 minutes, and they taste better than from a fancy restaurant!! A CRISPY exterior with JUICY and tender pieces of shrimp on the inside, with spicy mayo on the side! Great as an appetizer or main course!!

Ingredients
Shrimp Cakes
- 2 large eggs
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Sriracha optional and to taste
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons green onions finely chopped plus more for garnishing
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika regular paprika may be substituted
- 1 pound fresh shrimp cleaned and finely chopped
- 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
Spicy Mayo
- ½ cup mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha or to taste
- Lemon wedges for garnishing
Instructions
Shrimp Cakes
- 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.
Spicy Mayo
- Add both ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine.
- When shrimp cakes are done, garnish with green onions, and serve with spicy mayo and lemons.
