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!

PAN-FRIED SHRIMP CAKES
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.
