Maryland Coconut Shrimp Cakes
Ingredients:
Shrimp Cakes:
1 pound shrimp, chopped
1/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup flaked, sweetened coconut
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Sauce:
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Directions:
Combine the Shrimp Cakes ingredients well in a bowl. Divide into 4 equal size portions. Shape into small patties. Heat a sauté pan, spray with cooking oil, then drizzle in a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Fry the patties on each side until crispy and golden brown. Meanwhile, combine the Sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
When the cakes are done, place one on a plate, top with a dollop of the curried mayonnaise and garnish with additional chopped chives and some finely sliced tomato.
