Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, red bell pepper, parsley, Dijon mustard, garlic, beaten egg, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

  2. Shape the shrimp mixture into small patties, about 1 inch thick. Place the prepared patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the shrimp cakes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  4. Once cooked, remove the shrimp cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Continue cooking the remaining shrimp cakes until all are cooked.

  5. Serve the Shrimp Cakes Paula Deen hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a lemon wedge on the side. These cakes are perfect when paired with a side salad or a creamy dipping sauce.
