Ingredients

  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 tablespoon almond flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 3 tablespoons butter or ghee

Srirachae Mayonnaise

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce

Instructions

  1. Chop shrimp into small pieces or pluse a few times in a food processor.

  2. Add all ingredients except butter to a medium bowl and mix well. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.

  3. Melt butter over medium-high heat in a cast iron pan. If you don't have a cast iron pan, just use a regular pan.

  4. When pan is hot, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to form patties and drop them into pan. Gently flatten them a little bit. Let cook about 5 minutes and then gently flip over. Cook another minute or two or until cooked through.

  5. To make sauce, stir together mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce.

Recipe Notes

You can use frozen, defrosted shrimp.

I like to use medium to large shrimp for these shrimp cakes, but any size shrimp can be used.

If you don't have a food processor, just chop the shrimp into little pieces using a knife.
