When I was a teenager starting to find my way into the kitchen, I would often find myself making some sort of seafood cake. Crab cakes are the go-to for many, but for me, it was shrimp cakes. It was just so easy to put together that I knew I couldn’t fail too terribly. Finely chop all of the ingredients together, pan-fry and serve with a simple aioli…I mean if a teenager could make it, anyone can, right? Over the years, I have put special touches on my original shrimp cakes to liven them up. These green curry shrimp cakes are the current variation on rotation and I couldn’t love them more. A little spicy with Asian influences, these are best served with Japanese mustard aioli.
