Asian Shrimp Pancakes image

I keep these crisp, colorful appetizer pancakes on the small side so my guests can easily pick them up with chopsticks and eat them in a few bites. I think the little shrimp-topped cakes are as good as any I've tasted in Asian restaurants. -Tonya Burkhard, Davis, Illinois
