Prawn and Chorizo Cakes With Tomato Salsa, Flavoursome prawn and chorizo cakes served with a tomato salsa from Better Homes and Gardens, found online, but lots of people I’ve cooked for would love this – which is what drew my attention to it From Wikipedia: In commercial farming and fishery, the terms prawn and shrimp are generally used interchangeably In European countries, particularly the United Kingdom, the word prawns is far more common on menus than the term shrimp, which is generally only used in North America The term prawn is also loosely used to describe any large shrimp, especially those that come 15 (or fewer) to the pound (also called king prawns) Australia and other Commonwealth countries including South Africa follow this European/British use to an even greater extent, using the word prawn almost exclusively In Spain, gambas al ajillo (translated to garlic prawns) is a popular dish with both the locals and tourists, traditionally served as tapas , The flavor of these cakes is outstanding I have to admit, I took some creative license, instead of pan frying, used my deep fryer, and I have to say, I got a gorgeous result- golden brown, with no overly dark spots, and completely cooked through I set the heat at 325, and cooked for 5 minutes, then sprinkled with kosher salt when they came out As for the mix, I found that one potato was not enough (for a 1/2 recipe) so I added a 1/4 cup of instant mashed potatoes, which really helped hold the mixture together I’d add a bit more spice next time, either more cayenne (if you like hot) or some smoked paprika (if you like mild) This is definately a recipe I would make again, especially if I had company to impress Instead of the tomato salsa (looks good, but tomatoes are not in season), I just topped with some fresh lemon juice Thanks for posting a great recipe!
