Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

For the Tartar Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped cornichons
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped capers
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped shallots
For the Shrimp Cakes:
1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp, coarsely chopped
1 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 egg
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make Tartar Sauce: Mix all ingredients until evenly combined. Cover and chill in refrigerator until ready to serve. Make Shrimp Cakes: Place all ingredients except canola oil in a bowl and use your hands to thoroughly combine. Heat canola oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Form shrimp mixture into 6 hockey-puck-size round patties. Add patties to pan and pan-fry until browned all over, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Serve shrimp cakes with tartar sauce for dipping.

Tips:

To ensure the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
To make the shrimp cakes more flavorful, add a variety of seasonings. Old Bay seasoning is a classic choice, but you can also add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp cakes. They should be cooked through, but still slightly moist in the center.
Serve the shrimp cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Remoulade sauce, tartar sauce, or a simple lemon-butter sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

Old Bay shrimp cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love.
