Hi Friends!

Time for another Recipe Redux post! The theme for this month was “Back to the Dinner Table”.

After the hustle and bustle of the holiday/vacation season, August is the time many families get ‘back to routine.’ Show us your favorite recipe to help families get ‘back to the dinner table.’ It might be a favorite family recipe from your childhood that you’ve ReDuxed; or maybe it’s your family’s current favorite. Let’s all gather back at the table!

After seeing this theme, I knew immediately that I wanted to create a freezer-friendly recipe. So that’s exactly what I did! These shrimp cakes are designed to be prepped ahead of time, making them a perfect addition to your Sunday Food Prep! They need to be frozen before baking, so make a couple batches, throw them in the freezer and then pull them out and put them straight in the oven on a busy night.

I used my food processor to make these. It takes less than 5 minutes and clean-up was a breeze!

Here’s how you make them:

Like I said, these are designed to make ahead of time and cook from frozen. The cake mixture will be wet and kinda sloppy but freezing will help them stick together.

You can add all sorts of flavor to these. I used sriracha and lime juice for my first batch. Next time I’m definitely making them with Old Bay! I’d probably add about a tsp of dried seasonings or about 1-2 Tbsp of liquids like sriracha depending on how hot you like them.

While they’re baking you could whip up a quick sauce to top them with – I’m thinking an avocado yogurt sauce would be good…or even just some salsa!

So there you have it! Although I haven’t tried it, these would probably also work with a meaty white fish like cod!

    LOVE this idea…but question for you…
    We live in an area where we can really only get frozen shrimp and / or cod.
    So, what do you think? Partially thaw it (enough to chop and mix with other ingredients)? Fully thaw then refreeze? Try to chop them fully frozen? Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!
