Corn and Shrimp Cakes with Avocado Sauce
- 1 pound Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined
- 2 Lemons, Zested
- 3 ears Corn, Shucked, Then Carefully Cut Off The Raw Kernels
- 3 Green Onions, Thinly Sliced
- 1 Jalapeno, Minced
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 18 teaspoons Garlic, Minced
- 2 Tablespoons Parsley, Minced
- Avocado Oil For Frying
- 1 Avocado, Pitted And Peeled
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 2 Tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
- 13 cups Chopped Yellow Or Green Tomatoes
- Kosher Salt To Taste
- In the bowl of a food processor add 2/3rds of the shrimp and the zest of one lemon.
- Pulse until you have a fine paste.
- Transfer the shrimp paste to a large bowl and add the remaining (diced) shrimp, lemon zest, corn kernels, green onions, jalapeno, salt, garlic and parsley.
- Gently fold together until it is a well combined mixture.
- Using your clean hands, form 8 patties from the shrimp and corn mixture.
- Set the patties aside while you prepare the avocado sauce.
- In the jar of a blender combine the avocado, the lemon juice, the garlic, the rice wine vinegar, avocado oil (or vegetable oil) and the tomatoes.
- Puree until very smooth and then season to taste with kosher salt.
- In a large saute pan, heat a thin layer of avocado oil over medium heat.
- Add a few of the shrimp cakes (dont crowd the pan) and cook for about 2 minutes or until the bottoms have become golden and crispy.
- Flip the cakes and cook another few minutes until the second side is also golden and crispy and the shrimp is cooked to pink.
- Remove the cooked cakes from the pan.
- Continue to cook the cakes in batches.
- They should be served hot or kept warm in a 200 F oven while the rest are finished.
- I serve them with a dollop of the avocado sauce on the side and a few fresh tomatoes.
