Shrimp Cakes With Wasabi Mayo Recipes

SHRIMP AND CRAB CAKES WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• 1. Whisk the egg with the scallion whites, ginger, soy sauce and 3 tablespoons of the mayonnaise in a large bowl. Finley grate the zest and add it and the juice from 1/2 the lime to the mixture. (Cut the remaining 1/2 lime in wedges and reserve for serving.) Fold the crabmeat, shrimp, and 4 tablespoons of the panko into the mixture and season with pepper.
• 2. Put some panko in a shallow bowl for breading. Divide the crab mixture evenly into 4 patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Coat each patty all over with the panko, transfer to a plate and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
• 3. Meanwhile, put the wasabi powder in a small bowl, stir in 2 tablespoons water and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. (This should be the consistency of heavy cream.) Set aside.
• 4. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• 5. Heat the oil in a large oven-safe nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes and cook until light brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the crab cakes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F inside, 8 to 10 minutes.
• 6. Drain on paper towels. Serve the crab cakes on a bed of sprouts if desired, top with the scallion greens, wasabi mayonnaise and lime wedges.

SHRIMP CAKES WITH WASABI VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Make dashi:
• Wipe any sand or salt from kombu with a dampened cloth.
• Bring water and kombu almost to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Add katsuo bushi and bring to a boil, then boil 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let stand 3 minutes, skimming any foam. Pour dashi through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a bowl.
• Make shrimp mixture:
• Cook carrot, onion, and mushrooms in 1/4 cup dashi, uncovered, in a small heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until carrot and onion are softened, about 4 minutes. Cool slightly.
• Stir together shrimp, fish, vegetable mixture, yolk, sea salt, shoyu, and sugar in a bowl until combined well, then knead with your hands to form a paste. Chill, covered, until cold, about 1 hour.
• Make wasabi vinaigrette:
• Whisk together wasabi paste and mayonnaise, then add mirin and rice vinegar in a slow stream, whisking until blended well. Season with white pepper.
• Make mirin sauce:
• Bring mirin, shoyu, sugar, and 1/4 cup dashi to a simmer in a small saucepan. Stir cornstarch mixture, then whisk into mirin mixture and boil, whisking, 1 minute. Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.
• Fry shrimp cakes:
• Heat oil in a deep 10-inch skillet over moderate heat until it registers 250°F on thermometer. While oil is heating, form shrimp mixture into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) cakes. Fry cakes until light golden, about 2 minutes on each side, then transfer with a wide metal spatula to paper towels to drain. Transfer cakes with spatula to clean paper towels to drain again. Cut each cake into 1/2-inch-wide slices.
• Assemble dishes:
• Divide mesclun among 4 plates and sprinkle with shiso leaves. Arrange shrimp cake slices over salads and drizzle with vinaigrette and mirin sauce. Top each serving with 2 rounded tablespoons katsuo bushi, then with sprouts.

GARLIC SHRIMP WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Stir together all the ingredients for the wasabi mayonnaise, beginning with 2 tsp wasabi paste, adding and tasting until you achieve your desired level of spiciness; place in the refrigerator until needed.
• Stir together all the"FOR THE SHRIMP" ingredients, EXCEPT the shrimp.
• When thoroughly combined, pour over the shrimp, and mix well making sure that each piece is well covered with the marinade.
• Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate 15 minutes; do not go much beyond this time, or the lime juice will begin to"cook" the shrimp, making them tough.
• Put the shrimp (marinade and all) in one layer in a large dry non-stick frypan over medium-high heat, season with pepper to your taste and saute just until pink.
• I usually get them arranged in one layer, and by this time the first ones are beginning to color; I immediately begin to turn them over one by one and by then the first ones are ready to come out of the pan; by the time I've gotten to the last one they will all be cooked to my liking.
• Remove to a serving dish and don't forget to bring the wasabi mayo out of the fridge.
