Pan Fried Shrimp Cakes With Pork Recipes

Steps:

• Process or blend the shrimp with the garlic, scallions, salt, flour, sherry, and enough water to make a thick batter. Let stand, covered with plastic film, for 1 hour. Then fry, in drops of 1 heaping teaspoon, into the oil poured to a depth of 2 inches in a pan, for about 1 minute each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a skillet over high heat. Add shrimp; cook and stir until browned, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Season shrimp with 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, garlic salt, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute. Serve with remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice.

Steps:

• Season shrimp with coarse salt and ground pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the shrimp; cook until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with another tablespoon oil and remaining shrimp.
• Serve with Green Curry Cashew Sauce if desired.

Steps:

• 1. Shell and devein shrimp cut pork in chunks and scallions in thirds. Mince together, or machine-grind twice at a medium setting. 2. Blend in salt and pepper and form mixture into small cakes, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. 3. Heat oil. Pan-fry shrimp cakes over medium heat until cooked through and golden on both sides. Then sprinkle with soy sauce and serve. VARIATION: * For the pork and scallions, substitute 1/2 pound fish fillets, 1/2 cup blanched almond meats and 2 bacon strips. In step 2, omit the pepper and add 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon oil. Cook as in step 3, but do not sprinkle with soy sauce when serving.
