Title: Help needed for Skrimp cakes!
Post by: TMB on October 03, 2016, 08:41:26 PM
Kimmie and I had tasted catfish cakes in Paducha Ky during the BBQ on the river and talked about them on the way back.

So here is my first try, but need a little help on the grilled ones. The grilled cakes were a little dry and I need to add moister to them

I made two batches, one batch fried and one batch on the SRG and here they are 

Fried...

A suggestion for the grilled ones.  Take a couple of the shrimp and pop them into a food processor and puree to make a bit of a "mouse".  This would act as a binder and you could add less of the bread crumbs.  When I make any crab or fish cake I slowly add bread crumbs little by little just until it comes together to keep it from tasting bready/dried out.

Great idea thanks.   I want to get this recipe down before I have everyone over for a cookout  :D

Scallops work too, but are generally more expensive

That sounds good.  What about horseradish cheddar finely grated to give a kick?  However you do it, looking forward to the results!
