Carrie’s Famous Shrimp Patties (Boulette de Crevette)

Shrimp patties are a traditional Cajun favorite.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp raw
  • 1 large green pepper
  • 1 large raw red potato
  • Garlic powder to taste
  • 3 tbsp Italian bread crumbs
  • Dash of salt, black pepper and red pepper
  • 1 egg

Directions

Step 1

Chop the shrimp, green pepper, potato, and onion in a food processor or meat grinder.Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Mix all ingredients well and add the egg.

Step 2

Form into patties and roll lightly in breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Fry in deep fat oil or grill until brown.

Step 4

An alternative would be to chop some of the shrimp for more texture and use hash browns added to the food processed mixture instead of a raw potato.
