SHRIMP CAKES WITH SPICY AIOLI SAUCE

Shrimp Cakes with Spicy Aioli Sauce image

I made these for our staff Christmas party last year; they were such a hit that I was flooded with requests for the recipe the next day. Throughout the year, whenever I needed favors done at school, people gladly helped as long as I promised to bring them shrimp cakes! This year's Christmas party is coming up, and I'm already being asked if I am bringing the shrimp cakes-I guess I am! -Linda Zilar, Kennewick, Washington
