Ingredients
- 450 grams shrimp (peeled, deveined, and finely chopped)
- 100 grams sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
- 120 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 3 stalks green onions (finely sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 15 grams fresh parsley (chopped)
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 120 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped shrimp, grated cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic, and parsley.
Step 2
Add the panko breadcrumbs, flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Step 3
Whisk the eggs in a separate small bowl and add them to the shrimp mixture. Mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together when pressed.
Step 4
Using your hands, form the mixture into patties that are about 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide and 0.5 inches (1.25 cm) thick. You should be able to make about 8-10 patties.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking. You can test by dropping a small piece of the mixture into the oil — it should sizzle immediately.
Step 6
Carefully place the patties into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Use a spatula to gently flip the patties.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
