Detailed Steps for Making Homemade Shrimp Cake

Buy live fresh shrimp.

Remove the head, shell, and devein the shrimp (it’s easier to peel after freezing).

Chop the shrimp meat with a knife (you can leave some texture).

Continue chopping until it becomes a paste (it can be sticky).

Add salt and pepper.

Add an egg white.

Stir in one direction.

Stir well with chopsticks.

If you prefer a smoother texture, use a meat grinder.

Grind into a fine meat paste.

Add salt, pepper, egg white (for a chewy texture, you can also add some cornstarch).

Continue stirring in one direction until the mixture holds together. It should not fall off a chopstick when inserted.

You can shape the mixture into cakes on a spatula with chopsticks and then cook them.

Alternatively, you can pipe the mixture into strips using a pastry bag.

You can make extra and freeze them either raw or cooked for later consumption.
