shrimp

Recipe stolen from our good friend Matt – these are incredible.  And simple.  And quick.

1lb medium shrimp (peeled / cleaned), leave a quarter whole, cut a quarter in half, cut a quarter in thirds, finely slice the rest.

Toss shrimp with one egg (gently beaten first), half (or more) of a jalepeno pepper, 1 shallot, salt, pepper, handful of breadcrumbs.

Divide into 5 cakes. Cover with a mixture (half and half) of breadcrumbs and fine cornmeal. Cook in oil for around 3-5 mins each side (depending on thickness of cakes).

Serve with sweet chili sauce.
