Ingredients

  • 1 pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic finely minced
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves and stems finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons sliced chives plus more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Tabasco Green Pepper Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Add the shrimp to the food processor bowl. Pulse until coarsely chopped, avoiding grinding into a paste.
  • Transfer the shrimp to a big bowl and mix in the panko breadcrumbs, garlic, red bell pepper, cilantro, chives, Dijon mustard, eggs, Tabasco sauce, lemon zest and salt. Mix just until combined.
  • Shape the shrimp mixture into 6 patties.
  • In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp patties in a single layer for 4-5 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
  • Serve immediately, optionally topped with extra chives and chili-lime mayo. Add lemon wedges for garnish if preferred.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Storage

  • To store, allow them to cool completely. Then, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. Ensuring the shrimp patties are cooled before storing will prevent them from becoming soggy. Enjoy them later as a tasty and convenient leftover treat!
  • To freeze, first, let them cool completely. Then, transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Before reheating, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator for the best results.
