This is another recipe from my mother-in-law. She likes to serve this during Lent. It is shrimp patties fried and smothered in sauce and nopales. You may serve this with rice and tortillas (also some like to top it with cilantro), or I just eat it like a soup!

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 dried ancho chilies, stemmed and seeded
6 eggs, beaten
¼ cup shrimp powder
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
½ white onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup water, or more as needed
1 ½ chicken bouillon cubes
1 (16 ounce) jar nopales (cactus), drained and rinsed
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Soak ancho chilies in a bowl of warm water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
  • Whisk eggs and shrimp powder together in a bowl.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; pour egg mixture into small 2-inch circles in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining egg mixture.
  • Blend ancho chilies, onion, garlic, and water in a blender until smooth. Add more water if needed to make a soup consistency. Pour chile mixture into a pot over medium heat; add chicken bouillon and egg patties. Cook and stir until bouillon is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add nopales, reduce heat to low, and cook until soup is heated through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

I was disappointed with these shrimp cakes. They were dry and overcooked.

I had a hard time finding all of the ingredients for this recipe. I ended up substituting some things, and the shrimp cakes didn't turn out as well as I hoped.

These shrimp cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I made these shrimp cakes with a few modifications and they turned out great. I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs and I added some chopped green onions. They were delicious!
