VIETNAMESE-STYLE CRISPY SHRIMP CAKES



Vietnamese-Style Crispy Shrimp Cakes image

These crispy shrimp cakes were inspired by chao tom, Vietnamese shrimp on sugar cane, a delectable appetizer you'll find at restaurants in which shrimp is whirled into a paste in the food processor, then patted on pieces of sugar cane and steamed before grilling or frying. This version leaves out the sugar cane, which can be hard for some home cooks to find, but keeps the essence of the dish: golden-edged, pan-fried cakes that are served with nuoc cham, a piquant sauce. Although traditional recipes keep the shrimp seasonings to a minimum, making up for it later with the sauce, this one spices up the paste, adding lemon grass to the shrimp along with green chiles and scallions. (If you don't often cook with lemon grass, this video will show you how to prepare it.) You can serve the cakes as an appetizer wrapped in lettuce leaves or herbs (large basil leaves are wonderful in summer). Or fry them up for dinner, heaping them on rice noodles and dousing it all with nuoc cham.

Time 35m

Yield 14 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound shelled large shrimp, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup cornstarch, more for dusting
2 tablespoons minced lemon grass (tender inner stalk only)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 serrano or jalapeño chile peppers, seeded and minced
4 scallions, thinly sliced, white and light green part separated from dark green tops
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/4 cup Asian fish sauce
Finely grated zest of 1 lime
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 to 3 limes)
Peanut oil, for frying
Cooked rice noodles, optional, for serving
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, optional, for serving

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine shrimp, cornstarch, lemon grass, garlic, chiles, white and light green scallion bottoms, 2 teaspoons sugar and salt. Pulse until mixture forms a coarse paste.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, lime zest and juice, 1 tablespoon sugar and the dark green scallion tops.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Wet hands to keep shrimp paste from sticking. Form 2 tablespoons of shrimp mixture into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Dust patty with cornstarch. Repeat with remaining batter. Fry patties in batches until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve over rice noodles, if desired, drizzled with fish sauce mixture and strewn with cilantro.

Categories     Food Processor     Bake     Lunch     Buffet     Mayonnaise     Shrimp     Summer     Chill     Sour Cream     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 10 to 12 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For pumpernickel crust
9 ounces dense pumpernickel (about eight 4-inch-square slices; preferably Wild's multigrain Danish)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For shrimp filling
1 1/4 pounds medium shrimp (about 36)
3 tablespoons golden or red lumpfish caviar (from a 2-ounce jar)
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
freshly ground white pepper to taste
Garnish: coarsely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350° F. and lightly oil rim of a 12-inch tart pan with removable fluted rim.
  • Tear pumpernickel into pieces and in a food processor pulse until coarse crumbs. In a bowl stir together bread crumbs and butter until combined well and press onto bottom of tart pan. Bake crust in middle of oven 15 minutes, or until golden brown, and cool in pan on a rack.
  • Make filling:
  • Shell shrimp and if desired devein. In a saucepan of boiling salted water cook shrimp until just cooked through, about 1 minute, and drain in a colander. Rinse shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Coarsely chop shrimp.
  • If using red lumpfish caviar, in a fine sieve rinse and drain well. In a large bowl stir together shrimp, caviar, sour cream, mayonnaise, and heavy cream. In a small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over lemon juice and water and let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring, until gelatin is dissolved. Cool mixture slightly and stir into shrimp mixture with chives, white pepper, and salt to taste.
  • Pour filling into crust, spreading evenly. Chill tart, loosely covered with plastic wrap, at least 6 hours, or until filling is set, and up to 1 day. Garnish tart with chives.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp for the best results.
  • To devein the shrimp, make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein.
  • You can use any type of crackers for the crust, but Ritz crackers or saltine crackers work well.
  • Be sure to press the crackers into the tart pans firmly so that they form a solid crust.
  • Bake the tarts at a high temperature so that the crust becomes golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the tarts warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Crispy shrimp tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and reheated. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
