Method
Preparation
Prepare the Shrimp
In a food processor, pulse the shrimp until coarsely chopped but not pureed. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Mix Ingredients
Add the breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped green onions, red bell pepper, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the chopped shrimp. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Cooking
Form the Cakes
Using your hands, form the shrimp mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Cook the Shrimp Cakes
Carefully place the shrimp cakes in the hot oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the shrimp cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
