Notes
- Make sure you're using raw shrimps for this recipe. If you accidentally got frozen cooked shrimps, saute onion and garlic as well, then mix all the ingredients. Cook the shrimp patties for shorter time to prevent the shrimps from getting rubbery.
- Make sure you only pulse the shrimps in the food processor a few times or else the shrimp will release water and becomes mushy.
- Don't overcook the patties. Overcooked shrimp will have a rubbery texture.
- To make sure the shrimp cakes are all one size, use an ice cream scoop to make the patties.
