Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine all the ingredients but oil and mix well.

  2. Step 2

    Shape gently into five cakes; do not compress.

    Heat oil in skillet, preferably nonstick, and sauté cakes until golden brown on one side; turn and saute until second side is golden, about 10 minutes total.

Tip
  • If your store carries the tiny cooked shrimp, use them for this dish. They are much less expensive and no one will know the difference after they are chopped up.

Delicious but not a cake. Added breadcrumbs and fried whole

Not even six eggs saved this.
It is tasty but does not work as a cake.
Egg foo young anyone?

I couldn't understand how these would hold together and
guess what? They don't! I'm adding three eggs and hoping
all the peeling and chopping will be worth it.
