Thai Inspired Shrimp Cakes Recipes

THAI SHRIMP CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare the Sweet Cilantro Sauce by whisking all the ingredients together in a small bowl and then set aside.
• Spread the shrimp on a plate and chill the shrimp in the freezer for 15 minutes(this can ensures the springy texture of the shrimp cakes). Meanwhile get all your other ingredients ready. Combine the chilled shrimp, red curry paste, egg, fish sauce, sugar and coconut milk in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Mix in the green beans and basil.
• Because different brands of curry pastes have differing amounts of salt you'll want to make a sample shrimp cake first by saute 1 tablespoon of the mixture in a skillet(frying pan). Taste, and if necessary, adjust the seasoning with fish sauce and salt.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. First use 1 tablespoon of the oil to coat the skillet, use a measuring spoon to drop 1 tablespoon of the paste into the skillet. With a damp finger, flatten the paste slightly to about 1/2" thick. Make about 10 of these shrimp patties in the skillet.Cook the cakes until they are golden brown on each side and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel, make more patties from the remaining paste and cook the same way. Serve with a side bowl of the Sweet Chili Sauce.

THAI SHRIMP CAKES WITH SWEET CHILI SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add shrimp garlic, salt, cilantro, white pepper, and baking powder to bowl of food processor. Pulse until smooth paste is formed, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Run processor continuously until mixture becomes smooth and sticky, about 15 seconds. Transfer shrimp mixture to a large bowl and refrigerate it for at least 10 minutes.
• Place bread crumbs in a shallow pie plate. Heat oil in a Dutch oven or wok to 325°F as registered on an instant read or deep-frying thermometer.
• Roughly divide the shrimp mixture in the bowl into four equal portions. Divide each portion again into four portions to form 16 equal piles.
• Form each portion of shrimp mixture into a patty about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll each patty in the bread crumbs and gently lower it into the hot oil. The shrimp cakes puff up quite considerably in the oil, so make sure you don't overcrowd your frying vessel.
• Flip the shrimp cakes over a few times while they're frying. Once they're golden brown, fish them out onto a paper towel-lined plate.
• Serve the shrimp cakes immediately with Thai sweet chili sauce. This Recipe Appears In My Thai: Thai Shrimp Cakes with Sweet Chili Sauce

THAI-INSPIRED SHRIMP CAKES

Steps:

• Smash and mince the shrimp (don't mince too finely, you'll want some slightly larger pieces for texture).
• Dice the carrot lengthwise. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and par-boil the carrot until just barely tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Allow to cool enough to handle, and then mince the carrot.
• Add minced shrimp, carrot, minced water chestnuts, cilantro, egg white, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch, hoisin, sesame oil, ginger, fish sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper to the bowl of an electric stand mixer. With the flat paddle attached, set speed to medium and blend until the mixture really comes together and forms a sticky paste, about 5 minutes.
• Heat cooking oil in a large nonstick skillet. Form small flat patties with lightly oiled spoons or hands and fry in small batches (don't overcrowd the pan). Cook until golden brown and cooked all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat until all of the shrimp mixture has been used. Serve warm or at room temperature.

THAI-STYLE SEA SCALLOP CAKES

Steps:

• Make the dipping sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
• Make the sea scallop cakes: Put the sea scallops in the bowl of a food processor. Add the salt, pepper, fish sauce, garlic and ginger. Process to a fine-ground paste, about 1 minute.
• Add the scallions, chile, cilantro, makrut lime leaves and egg. Pulse a few times to combine well. The paste can be transferred to another container and refrigerated until ready to cook, up to a day ahead.
• Pour peanut or coconut oil to a depth of 1/4 inch into a wide skillet and turn the heat to medium high. When the oil is hot, carefully add the fish cake mixture in large spoonfuls. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Adjust the heat to allow the cakes to brown gently for about 3 minutes, then flip them. Flatten them gently with a spatula and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Drain on absorbent paper, then serve hot, with the dipping sauce.

THAI-INSPIRED SHRIMP STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Wearing rubber gloves, cut chili crosswise into thin slices and in a small saucepan stir together with vinegar and sugar. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer 30 seconds. Remove chili vinegar from heat.
• Remove and discard tough outer layer of lemongrass if necessary and finely chop enough to measure 1 teaspoon. In a small bowl stir together lemongrass, garlic, and gingerroot. Peel shrimp and devein if desired. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Add shrimp to lemongrass mixture, stirring to coat well, and marinate at room temperature 15 minutes.
• While shrimp are marinating, diagonally cut carrots into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Halve zucchini lengthwise and diagonally cut halves into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Halve cucumber lengthwise and seed. Diagonally cut cucumber halves into thin slices. Diagonally cut scallions into thin slices. Chop coriander and coarsely chop peanuts.
• Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until a bead of water dropped on cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add 1 tablespoon oil, swirling wok or skillet to coat evenly, and heat until hot but not smoking. Add carrots and stir-fry until barely crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add zucchini and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl.
