Description

Imagine tender, flavorful shrimp cakes, infused with the warm, aromatic spices of the East. This recipe brings together the succulent taste of shrimp with the vibrant flavors of curry and turmeric, creating a delightful and satisfying meal. The shrimp is finely minced and marinated in a fragrant blend of spices, ensuring every bite is packed with rich, complex flavors.

The bright yellow turmeric not only adds color but also a subtle earthy note that complements the sweetness of the shrimp. Alongside the shrimp cakes, a colorful vegetable hash offers a crisp and healthy contrast. Finely shredded vegetables are cooked in a hot pan, achieving a delightful texture that's both tender and slightly crisp, reminiscent of classic breakfast hash browns.

This vegetable medley adds essential nutrients and a satisfying crunch to the meal, balancing the richness of the shrimp cakes. To complete the experience, a creamy curry-flavored mayonnaise serves as the perfect dipping sauce. This simple addition elevates the dish with an extra layer of flavor, providing a cool and tangy counterpoint to the warm spices of the shrimp cakes.

It's a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that will leave you feeling satisfied and nourished. This meal is not only delicious but also incredibly convenient. Prepared in under 40 minutes, it's ideal for meal prepping.

Simply store the components in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, and reheat when ready to enjoy. This makes it perfect for busy individuals seeking a healthy and flavorful meal option throughout the week. When selecting shrimp, medium to large-sized shrimp work perfectly for this recipe.

Since the shrimp is minced, the size is not critical, allowing you to choose based on your preference and budget. The most important thing is to ensure the shrimp is fresh and of good quality, to maximize the flavor and texture of the final dish.

Instructions

    1.
    Peel and devein the shrimp if necessary. If your shrimp has a lot of excess water on it, pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel too. Mince or small-dice the shrimp into equal pieces. The finer you mince the shrimp, the better your shrimp cakes will turn out. Add the minced shrimp to a mixing bowl and combine it with either thawed cauliflower rice from frozen or raw riced cauliflower. If your cauliflower rice came from frozen, make sure to drain away any excess water as well.
    2.
    Mix the shrimp and cauliflower rice with egg yolk, fish sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, curry powder, ginger powder, turmeric, and red pepper flakes. Once the mixture is evenly mixed, you can choose to marinate the shrimp in your refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes or continue straight on. Heat the avocado oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, portion the shrimp mixture with a large spoon.
    3.
    When the oil is hot, scoop each portion into the pan and spread it out into thin cakes as they sizzle on the first side. Let the shrimp cakes cook until they golden brown on one side and most of the egg has cooked - about 3-4 minutes. Flip the cakes over and finish cooking them on the other side. Transfer the cooked shrimp cakes to your meal prep containers to rest while you make the vegetable hash.
    4.
    Add the second amount of riced cauliflower to a large mixing bowl. Again, you can choose between thawed from frozen or raw cauliflower, following the same recommendation made earlier. Use a large cheese grater to shred the mushrooms and zucchini like you would shred a potato for hash browns. Mix the mushroom and zucchini shreds into the large mixing bowl along with salt, pepper, onion powder, and chopped basil.
    5.
    Use the same pan you used to cook the shrimp cakes to cook the vegetable hash. Heat the pan without any new oil over high heat on the stove. When the pan is hot, add the vegetable hash and spread it out in the pan. Let the hash cook on one side until the vegetables and spices char to a dark golden brown. Then, stir the hash in the pan as the vegetables continue charring in the heat. Squeeze the lemon juice into the pan to infuse the hash, then reduce the stove heat to very low.
    6.
    Add butter to the pan, and let it melt. Stir the pan ingredients until the hash has a buttery coating. Remove the pan from the heat and distribute the vegetable hash amongst your meal prep containers with the shrimp cakes. Finally, in a small mixing bowl or dish, stir together the mayonnaise with a pinch each of curry powder, garlic powder, and paprika (not listed). Since these are such small amounts, you don need to measure out the ingredients and instead just include a dash of each seasoning to your liking. Briefly microwave your curry mayo sauce for 5-10 seconds just to warm and loosen up the sauce. Drizzle about tablespoon of curry mayo over each shrimp cake to enjoy.
