Ingredients
    For the Shrimp Cakes
  • 1 lb shrimp (peeled & deveined, patted dry and diced small)
  • 1 egg (large, organic)
  • 1 bunch green onions (1 small bunch, finely diced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (finely diced)
  • 1 shallot (diced)
  • 1 lemon (Zest of 1 lemon)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3 tbsp cilantro (fresh chopped)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella (freshly grated)
  • 2-3 tbsp avocado oil (for cooking)
    • For the Lemon Garlic Aioli
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (avocado oil based is healthiest!)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic (minced)
Instructions
  1. 1
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced shrimp, egg, green onions, red bell pepper, shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice, almond flour, cilantro, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, sriracha, and grated mozzarella. Mix until combined
  2. 2
    Stir the mixture well until everything is evenly incorporated and the ingredients hold together.
  3. 3
    Form the shrimp cakes. Shape the mixture into about 15 shrimp cakes. Place them on a sheet pan in a single layer.
  4. 4
    Transfer the pan to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. If you are short on time, place them in the freezer for about 20 minutes. This helps the cakes firm up so they hold their shape while cooking.
  5. 5
    Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of avocado oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat.
  6. 6
    Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp cakes to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. 7
    Make the lemon garlic aioli. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, and minced garlic until smooth and creamy.
  8. 8
    Serve the crispy shrimp cakes warm with the lemon garlic aioli on the side for dipping.
