Instructions for Shrimp Cakes

Begin by chopping your shrimp into small pieces and placing them in a mixing bowl.
Add breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix everything well until it’s thoroughly combined.
Shape the mixture into patties about 2-3 inches wide, ensuring they are compact.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the shrimp cakes for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Serve the shrimp cakes with your homemade lemon aioli for dipping.
