For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can thoroughly combine the ingredients by hand. These shrimp cakes are also great when pan-fried or baked.

Follow The Directions
01
StepRoughly chop the shrimp: Aim for a coarse mince, retaining some texture for a more satisfying bite. (5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the carrot: Dice the carrot lengthwise into thin strips, then finely mince. Parboil in a small pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Cool slightly before mincing. (10 minutes)
03
StepCombine the ingredients: In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the minced shrimp, carrot, diced water chestnuts, cilantro, egg white, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, fish sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. (2 minutes)
04
StepMix to a paste: Mix on medium speed until the mixture thoroughly comes together and forms a sticky paste. (5 minutes)
05
StepForm and fry the cakes: Heat the cooking oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Using lightly oiled spoons or hands, form the shrimp mixture into small, flat patties. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. (2 minutes)
06
StepCook until golden: Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). (6-9 minutes per batch)
07
StepServe: Remove the shrimp cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate. Serve warm or at room temperature with sweet Thai chili sauce for dipping. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired. (2 minutes)
