Instructions
-
Prepare the ingredients: Begin by finely chopping the green pepper and green onion. In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped green pepper, green onion, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
-
Add shrimp and egg: In the same bowl, add the beaten egg and drained shrimp. Make sure to pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture before adding them to the mixture. This will help the patties hold their shape while cooking.
-
Incorporate the bread crumbs: Gradually add 4 tablespoons of bread crumbs to the mixture, stirring until well combined. This helps bind the ingredients together and will create the right texture for the patties.
-
Form the patties: With your hands, form the shrimp mixture into 6 small balls. Then, roll each ball in the remaining bread crumbs until fully coated. Flatten each ball into a patty shape to prepare them for frying.
-
Cook the patties: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be sure to flip them gently to avoid breaking them apart.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious, crispy shrimp patties!
Cooking Tips
- Shrimp preparation: Be sure to drain the shrimp thoroughly and remove any excess liquid to prevent the patties from becoming soggy.
- Customization: Add your favorite herbs or spices to the mixture for extra flavor. A pinch of paprika or a dash of cayenne pepper can bring a nice kick to the patties.
- Serving suggestions: These shrimp patties pair wonderfully with a side of fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or a tangy dipping sauce like cocktail sauce or tartar sauce.
