- ¼ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped red peppers
- 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter
Preparation
- Add 2/3 of the raw shrimp to a food processor to make a paste, chop the other 1/3 of the shrimp into small pieces, blend and set aside.
- In a large bowl add the grated sweet potato, onion, peppers, minced garlic, panko, eggs and stir until smooth.
- Once the mixture from the previous step is ready, add the shrimp paste and stir, then form 8 pancakes with your hands and place them on a tray or plate lined with aluminum foil.
- Put the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and grease a baking sheet with the butter.
- When ready to eat, transfer the shrimp fritters to the baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes on each side.
Tips
- The key to good baked shrimp pancakes is to make sure the batter is thick, because if it’s runny it will melt on the baking sheet and make a big mess. You do this by slowly adding more panko bread to the batter as you stir.
