Fried Sweet Potato Shrimp Cakes

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 2-3 minutes per side depending on your preference

Total Time: 28 minutes

Yield: 8

Ingredients:

• 8 shrimp
• 2 sweet potatoes
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• dash salt & pepper
• 1/4 cup olive oil (ran out of vegetable oil)
• 1.5 Tbsp fish sauce
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce

Steps:

1. Peel and wash sweet potato.
2. For one sweet potato, I used a food processor and the other sweet potato, I cut julianne the sweet potato. You can skip the food processor but I didn't want all chunky pieces. Place napkin on your plate to absorb any water.

 
3. Peel shrimp shell and devein. Chop into chunks.

6. Over medium high heat, spoon batter to create your cakes and cook 2-3 minutes per side or your desired doneness. I cooked 2 batches of 4, for a total of 8 cakes. Line plate with paper towel to absorb some oil.
