It’s funny sometimes how a recipe can come about.  I really had a hankering for crab cakes.  Well, crab is definitely rather limited in the Midwest unless you want to buy it in a can and who wants to do that?  So the question became how to get that perfect bite of seafood cake that is crisp on the outside and bursting with fresh seafood flavor on the inside. 

While I absolutely adore my Baked FRESH Salmon Cakes and honesty, ALL seafood cakes, that wasn’t quite the shellfish flavor I was after.  Since I couldn’t have the crab, it occurred to me that Fresh Shrimp, on the other hand, is much easier to come by.

But then more decisions.  Am I in the mood for a traditional crab cake flavor?  Or something a little different and outside the box?  Would shrimp even preform well in a cake?  To solve this crisis I had a really entertaining discussion with one of my favorite foodies about just this dilemma.

After discussing the virtues and desirability of different add-ins and flavor combinations, a plan was formed.  Unfortunately, there were TWO different Shrimp Cake options that sounded too delicious not to try.

So….This is Part One of my Two-part Series on Shrimp Cakes and I couldn’t be happier with how my Asian Shrimp Cakes with Mango Chutney and Honey Sriracha Sauce turned out!

These divinely delicious Asian Shrimp Cakes with Mango Chutney and Honey Sriracha Sauce combine all the flavors of fresh shrimp, ginger, lime zest, sesame, and garlic to create a cake with a crispy exterior and a sweet and succulent interior all topped with a bite of sweet and spicy.

How to make Asian Shrimp Cakes with Mango Chutney and Honey Sriracha

To create these cakes, begin by chopping pealed and deveined shrimp into pea size pieces.  Add mayo, egg, the juice and zest of a lime, fresh ginger, green onion, panko bread crumbs, cilantro, garlic, sesame oil, and a few spices.  Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes to give the flavors time to develop and to make shaping easier.

While the cakes are coming together in the refrigerator, make a mango chutney with minced mango, green onion, lime juice and zest, cilantro, fresh ginger, garlic, honey, and spices.  Let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.

Form shrimp mixture into a patty and coat with panko bread crumbs.  Pan sear both sides in a hot pan with a little olive oil until golden and crispy.  I prefer a cast iron skillet.

Whisk together the Honey Sriracha Sauce.

Serve the Asian Shrimp Cakes on a bed of arugula aka rocket.  The peppery, ever so slightly bitter flavor is simply perfect with the sweet and spicy.  Top the cake with the Mango Chutney and a drizzle of the Honey Sriracha Sauce.  Enjoy!

    Quick question. So does the shrimp mixture need 2 1/2 cups of panko breadcrumbs?

      Hi Deanna,
      You will need to mix 1/2 cup of panko into your shrimp cake mixture, chill, and then dip the formed patties into a bowl/plate holding the remaining panko bread crumbs to coat the patties before placing them in the pan with the hot oil. Hope this helps!
