Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

8 oz. (250 g) peeled and deveined raw shrimp, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 large egg
2 teaspoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons coconut milk
1/4 cup (25 g) chopped long bean/ green beans
2 tablespoons roughly chopped Thai basil leaves
2 tablespoons oil
1/4 cup (65 ml) Thai sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoon chopped coriander leaves, cilantro
1 teaspoon minced ginger

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.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 pound frozen medium shrimp - thawed, shelled, and deveined
1 small carrot, peeled
5 drained, canned water chestnuts, diced
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro, or more to taste
1 large egg white
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon fish sauce
¼ teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cooking oil, or as needed

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.
