were the star of the spread. I made them a little smaller so I was able to get double the yield the recipes indicates. I served them with aoli. Delish!

I made them ahead of time and reheated slightly in the oven.

SHRIMP CAKES

Recipe By :Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Maui / Carianna

Categories : Appetizers Shrimp

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

16 uncooked large shrimp (about 1 pound) -- peeled, deveined1 large egg

1 green onion -- sliced

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 Pinch ground black pepper

2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

2 tablespoons peanut oil -- (or more)

Coarsely chop shrimp in processor. Add egg, green onion, lemon juice, mustard, cilantro, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Blend in using on/off turns. Add 1 cup panko and blend in using on/off turns. Form mixture into twelve 3-inch-diameter cakes. Roll cakes in remaining 1 cup panko; transfer to waxed-paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate 10 minutes. (Can be made up to 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry cakes until cooked through and golden brown on both sides, adding more oil to skillet as needed, about 6 minutes.

Market tip: Unseasoned Japanese breadcrumbs called panko, give these shrimp cakes a light, crispy coating. Dry white breadcrumbs make a good substitute. Panko is available in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Makes 6 first-course servings.
