About Shrimp cakes

Shrimp cakes are a savory dish often found in Asian and coastal cuisines, blending minced shrimp with ingredients like breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic, green onions, and spices. These cakes are typically pan-fried or baked until crisp on the outside and tender inside. Packed with lean protein from shrimp, they offer essential nutrients like selenium, iodine, and vitamin B12, supporting metabolism and thyroid health. Depending on the preparation, they may include heart-healthy fats when cooked with olive oil or avocado oil. However, some versions may be higher in calories and sodium due to frying and seasoning. Shrimp cakes are a versatile option, often paired with fresh salads or dipping sauces for balance. For a lighter version, they can be baked or air-fried to reduce fat content, maintaining flavor while enhancing their health appeal.
