Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 medium shallot, minced
1 jalapeño, minced
2 large eggs, beaten
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
1 lemon, zested
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne
kosher salt, to taste
½ lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
¼ cup high-heat cooking oil, such as peanut or organic canola
8 oz roasted red pepper, 1 jar, drained, liquid reserved
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons raw almond
½ small shallot, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 pinch salt
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
4 cups arugula
4 cups watercress
1 drizzle olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 pinch kosher salt
1 pinch pepper

Steps:

  • Make the shrimp cakes: Add the shrimp to a food processor and pulse 4-5 times, until minced but not mushy.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the shrimp, shallot, jalapeño, eggs, panko, chives, lemon zest, paprika, cayenne, a pinch of salt, the lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
  • Using a 1-ounce (30-g) scoop, portion out the shrimp mixture and gently flatten into patties.
  • Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties, in batches if necessary, for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145˚F (63˚C). Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season lightly with salt.
  • Make the roasted red pepper sauce: Add the peppers, red wine vinegar, almonds, shallot, garlic, and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds, until smooth. With the blender running, slowly stream in the olive oil to emulsify. Thin with the reserved red pepper liquid, if necessary.
  • Assemble the salad: Add the arugula and watercress to a large bowl. Add a drizzle of olive oil, the lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well.
  • Divide the salad between serving bowls and top with the shrimp cakes and roasted red pepper sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer     Fry

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

For the sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dry vermouth
2 tablespoons rice-wine or sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
For the cakes:
8 ounces (about 1 cup packed) medium-firm or firm tofu
12 ounces shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped into small pieces
4 ounces ground beef sirloin
1 tablespoon dry vermouth
3 eggs
1 scallion, white and light-green parts only, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1⁄2 cup flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lemon, quartered, to garnish
Parsley sprigs, to garnish.

Steps:

  • 1. Make the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside. 2. Prepare the cakes: Wrap the tofu in paper towels and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. In a large bowl, combine the tofu, shrimp, beef, vermouth, 1 egg, scallion, garlic, sesame oil and seeds (if using), two large pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Mix well, using your hands if necessary. Divide the mixture into 8 balls, each roughly 1/3 cup. 3. Spread the flour on a small plate. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the remaining 2 eggs with a few drops of water. Place the ingredients and a paper-towel-lined tray by the stove. 4. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Meanwhile, working with 4 balls, dredge each in flour and coat with the egg. Quickly add the balls to the skillet, flatten them with a spatula to about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and cook until the shrimp turn pink and the coating is golden, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip the cakes and cook for about 1 1/2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. 5. Serve the cakes, two per person, with the dipping sauce. Garnish with the lemon wedges and parsley. Serves 4.
