Instructions

  1. Clean the shrimp, peel, deveined, and tail off.

  3. Pour into a bowl.

  4. Clean the peppers and onion, and green onions and pulse a few times in the food processor to give a rough chopping or a knife.

  7. Before the time you want to fry remove the shrimps' mixture and leave to return to room temperature. 

  8. Place a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a little bit of oil to cover the bottom of the saucepan and let it get hot, not smoky hot.

  9. Scoop small (or the size you want) shrimp mixture and fry on both sides. Don't leave the shrimps cake unattended (the first set I fried burnt because I was attending to something else) they burn easily. Cook for a few minutes until it's fully cooked.

  10. Line a plate with a paper towel, remove the shrimps and drain on the lined plate.

  11. Serve with your favorite sauce.
