Ingredients:

• 1 red onion
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1/4 cup self-raising flour
• 1 egg
• 3 cups shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons oil (for frying)
• 2/3 cup additional oil (if needed)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

   • Begin by gathering your ingredients. Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done.

2. Chop Onion and Cilantro:

   • In a food processor, place the red onion and fresh cilantro. Pulse until finely chopped.

3. Blend Shrimp Mixture:

   • Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the food processor. Pulse for about 6 seconds until the shrimp is coarsely chopped and mixed with the onion and cilantro.

4. Combine Remaining Ingredients:

   • Transfer the shrimp mixture to a mixing bowl. Add fish sauce, self-raising flour, and the egg to the bowl. Mix until well combined.

5. Heat Oil:

   • In a heavy-based frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium to high heat until it’s hot but not smoking.

6. Fry Shrimp Cakes:

   • Using a dessert spoon, scoop portions of the batter and carefully place them into the hot frying pan. Cook each side for no more than one minute, or until golden brown.

7. Repeat and Bake:

   • Continue making shrimp cakes, transferring them to a hot oven to keep warm as you cook the remaining batter. If needed, add more oil to the frying pan.

8. Serve:

   • Once all the shrimp cakes are cooked, serve them hot from the oven. Pair them with your favorite chili sauce for an extra kick!

9. Garnish:

   • Before serving, garnish each plate with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
