🍲 Ingredients
Shrimp- I only recently started eating fish and shellfish again and I’m really glad I’ve reintroduced it into my diet because there are so many delicious possibilities. Shrimp is a lean source of protein and is rich in vitamin B12, alongside other essential nutrients. Feta- Feta is obviously a staple in my house as a Greek woman who loves to cook. Feta is a Greek-brined cheese made from sheep’s milk and lasts so much longer in your fridge than other cheeses, which makes it great to have on hand to throw into recipes like these shrimp cakes.
👩🍳 How to Make Shrimp Cakes
🪄 Tips and Tricks
Tzatziki: I love these shrimp cakes with homemade tzatziki, but you can buy store-bought tzatziki too. Mixing: Don’t over-blend your mixture in the food processor or you’ll end up with a paste that won’t be great for texture or forming your patties Prep: Prep the patties in advance and keep them on a baking tray in your fridge until ready to fry Food Processor: If you don’t have one you can easily chop all your ingredients and mix them up in a bowl
🗒 Substitutions
Here are some easy substitutions you can make in this recipe:
Onion: Regular white onion will work just as well as red Breadcrumbs: If you don’t have breadcrumbs, you can swap them for panko. It’ll give a bit of a different crunch/texture, but still delicious

Fridge: You can store leftover shrimp cakes in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Make sure you let them cool completely before putting them in the fridge. Freeze: You can freeze cooked shrimp cakes by letting them cool, freezing on a baking sheet, and then once frozen, adding them to a Ziploc bag. By freezing on a baking sheet first, you’ll make sure they don’t all freeze stuck together.
