Steps:
- Roughly chop the raw shrimp and place in a large bowl.

SPICY CRAB CAKES
This recipe came to us by way of Garrett Oliver, the brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery. He believes beer and wine should always be served with food. And beer, he contends, is often the better choice. With these crab cakes, Mr. Oliver, an excellent cook who is widely-known for his successful beer-and-wine pairings, recommends an India pale ale. The bitterness of the hops plays nicely with the spiciness of the dish.

- You may form the crabcakes immediately, however allowing the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour will make the shaping easier.
- Divide the mixture into 4-6 large crabcakes, and place on a lightly oiled or nonstick baking sheet. (Or make to your desired size - I use a 1/4 cup measure - and adjust your cooking time appropriately ).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes , or until a light golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
- Variation:.
- Baltimore Crab Cakes: Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce and Old Bay Seasoning to taste.

CHEF JOHN'S SPICY SHRIMP CAKES
I love Asian-style fish or shrimp cakes but almost never order them because I find there's too much filler or 'binder.' So if you want to enjoy shrimp cakes in their most pure form, give this recipe a try. It takes just a few minutes if you use your food processor. These little fried cakes are delicious served with Thai chili sauce.

Steps:
- Place shrimp, garlic, cilantro, chili paste, brown sugar, salt, fish sauce, turmeric, and cayenne pepper into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse on and off until mixture begins to break down. Scrape down the sides. Continue processing until mixture is very smooth but not pureed and moves around the bowl as a mass. Transfer to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; press wrap against the surface of the shrimp paste. Refrigerate until mixture is chilled, 1 to 2 hours.
- Place panko crumbs on a plate. Scoop out equal size portions of shrimp and roll them around on the crumbs to coat. Shape into thin patties. Do this in batches.
- Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook cakes in batches. Fry until golden brown and cakes spring back to the touch, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
