Cilantro Yogurt Sauce:
3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup plain yogurt
Chopped green onion or chives for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Sweet Potato Cakes - Place the shredded sweet potato in a strainer for about an hour, or until the majority of juices have drained. Using your hand, squeeze any remaining juices from the shredded sweet potato. Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat and saute the onion until soft and golden. In bowl, add sweet potato, sauted onion, egg, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well using your hands (get dirty!). Drop large spoonfuls of the sweet potato mixture into the pan, pressing each one down with the back of a spatula, creating round flat cakes. Cook for about 8 minutes a side, until golden brown and tender. Shrimp - Butterfly the shrimp by slicing down the spine (back) of the shrimp without splitting the shrimp. Place shrimp in a bowl and add garlic, vinegar, red pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Let shrimp marinate for about 20 minutes. Heat olive oil in a pan, and then add the shrimp and marinade. Cover and let shrimp cook until they are pink. Cilantro Yogurt Sauce - Place yogurt and cilantro in a blender, mixing until well blended. For a thicker sauce, you can strain the yogurt overnight with cheesecloth. Use only fresh cilantro, as dried cilantro will not taste good. Serving - Divide sweet potato cakes among two plates; top with shrimp; and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with green onions or chives.

Provided by Rebekah Rose Hills

Categories     Shrimp Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

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.

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to infuse the shrimp with flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains plenty of herbs and spices.
  • Cook the sweet potato cakes until they are golden brown: The sweet potato cakes should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Serve the dish with a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce will help to bring all of the flavors of the dish together. Try serving the shrimp and sweet potato cakes with a creamy cilantro sauce or a spicy chili sauce.
