How To Make shrimp cakes

Step 2Next, add the shrimp, cilantro, chives and garlic to the food processor and pulse until it becomes a textured paste.

Step 3Add the shrimp mixture to the bowl and stir to combine.

Step 4Form small patties and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to a medium heat. You can also use a frying pan over the stove. When grill is ready, spray cooking oil on the patties (or oil your grill) and cook for approximately 3-5 minutes per side, until they are a crispy golden brown.
