Share:
Ingredients
- 8 oz (230g) raw shrimp roughly chopped, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1/4 cup long bean or green beans, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Thai basil leaves roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons oil
Sweet Chili Sauce:
- 1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoon Coriander leaves cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Cilantro Sauce by whisking all the ingredients together in a small bowl, then set aside.
- Spread the shrimp on a plate and chill them in the freezer for 15 minutes to ensure a springy texture for the shrimp cakes. Meanwhile, prepare all your other ingredients. In a food processor or blender, combine the chilled shrimp, red curry paste, egg, fish sauce, sugar, and coconut milk. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and mix in the green beans and basil.
- Since different brands of curry pastes have varying salt levels, it's a good idea to make a sample shrimp cake first. Sauté 1 tablespoon of the mixture in a skillet (frying pan). Taste, and if necessary, adjust the seasoning with fish sauce and salt.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Use 1 tablespoon of oil to coat the skillet. Then, using a measuring spoon, drop 1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture into the skillet. With a damp finger, flatten the mixture slightly to about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Repeat this process to make about 10 shrimp patties in the skillet.
- Cook the cakes until golden brown on each side and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel, then make more patties from the remaining mixture and cook them the same way. Serve with a side bowl of sweet chili sauce.
