THAI SHRIMP CAKES

Shrimp Cakes are easy and simple to make in few minutes. If you like crab cakes, you should also definitely try making this shrimp cake. First time I tasted this shrimp cake in Thai restaurant and I liked it a lot. I just tried making it at home with store bought red curry paste and I am not much satisfied with the taste. So I customized and make the red curry paste at home according to my taste with fresh spices. I avoid adding fish sauce in it because I don’t want my shrimp cakes saltier. Traditional Thai shrimp cakes have string beans in it, which I tasted in thai restaurant. I served these shrimp cakes as an appetizer for my guests and they all loved it. So I am happily sharing it here with you all.
