Keto Curry Shrimp Cakes

Use this recipe when you need to make the main component to your meal prepping or want a little snack. Shrimp is very low in protein, so munching on a shrimp cake between meals won’t force you to cut out eating the other meat you have prepped for the day. Shrimp of any size and brand of your choosing is mixed with cauliflower, egg, and a blend of vibrant spices including savory curry powder and orange-yellow turmeric. Fry the shrimp cakes in a pan in under 8 minutes and pair them with a very quickly made curry mayo dipping sauce. You can serve the shrimp cakes with the curry sauce directly on them or on the side. For storage, you can keep the shrimp cakes for up to 5 days in an airtight container in your refrigerator. For a meal, you can eat the shrimp cakes with prepared fried cauliflower “rice”, sauteed Keto vegetables, or a high-fat Carb Manager side dish with low carbs.

Shrimp Is Sold By Count, Then Weight.

Since shrimp conveniently grows into perfectly bite-sized food, they’re sold a little differently than other proteins. While most other meats can be simply weighed for sale, shrimp isn’t sold individually and comes in different sizes. Shrimp is first sold by count based on their size and then sold by the pound once they reach your hands to purchase. In a 1lb bag, you can expect to get 51-60 small, 41-50 medium, 31-35 large, or 21-25 jumbo shrimp.

Can I Use Pre-Cooked Shrimp?

If you’d like to have an even faster prep time or you just don’t have raw shrimp on hand, you can use pre-cooked shrimp. Pre-cooked shrimp will already be shelled and easier to mince quickly. The shrimp cakes will also cook very quickly because you’re just waiting for the egg to cook through. The drawbacks may be that your shrimp cakes are a little dry or don’t hold onto some of the fragrant spices used.
