Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup celery ribs
- 2 onions
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup fresh dill
- 4 dashes of Tabasco sauce
- 1 pound shrimp
- 2 1/4 cups bread crumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4-6 tablespoons oil (for frying)
Instructions:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare the Mixture In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the celery ribs and onions, cooking and stirring frequently for about 2-3 minutes until they soften. Transfer this mixture to a large mixing bowl. |
| 2 | Mix in the Flavors To the mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, Tabasco sauce, and 1/4 cup of bread crumbs. Stir everything together until well combined, creating a flavorful mixture. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. |
| 3 | Add the Shrimp Now, it’s time to add the star of the show – the shrimp! Mix the shrimp into the bowl with the other ingredients, ensuring they are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture. |
| 4 | Coat with Bread Crumbs Place the remaining bread crumbs on a flat dish or plate. Using about 1/3 cup of the shrimp mixture, form a patty with your hands. Place the patty onto the plate of bread crumbs, pressing lightly to coat one side, then flip and coat the other side. Roll the edges of the patty in the bread crumbs as well, ensuring it’s completely coated. Repeat this step with the remaining shrimp mixture. |
| 5 | Fry the Cakes In a nonstick skillet, add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat it over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add 4 cakes to the skillet (or however many your skillet can comfortably fit without crowding). Fry the cakes for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Repeat this process with the remaining oil and shrimp cakes. |
| 6 | Serve and Enjoy Once the shrimp cakes are golden and crispy, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve these delightful shrimp cakes hot, accompanied by your choice of cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or salsa. Enjoy every crispy, flavorful bite! |
Notes:
- ๐ก Tip: For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice to the shrimp mixture before forming the patties.
- ๐ฝ Serving Suggestion: These shrimp cakes are perfect as a brunch centerpiece or as a delicious snack any time of the day. Pair them with a fresh salad or some crispy fries for a complete meal.
