Here's a fabulous recipe that I acquired at last year's Shrimp Festival, in Delcambre, La. When I tell you that these spicy, succulent, shrimp cakes are "over the top", GOOD, then you know that I mean it, cher! And topping them off with this rich, sinful jalapeno cream sauce, will really send you into orbit! Cest bon, cher! Enjoy! Bon appetit!
Spicy Creole Shrimp Cakes
1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled, deveined. and chopped
1/2 cup each, onions, red bell peppers, and green peppers, chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 tbs.'s fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup whole kernel corn
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbs. Acadiana Spice seasoning or Cajun seasoning
Few shakes hot sauce
2 tbs.'s mayonaise
2 tbs.'s mayonaise
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Mix shrimp, bread crumbs, eggs, mayo, sauteed onions and peppers and seasoning in large bowl. Mix well and form into cakes. On medium heat, heat oil and add shrimp cakes, and fry for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Makes 5 cakes or 10 cakes.
Jalapeno Cream Sauce

green bell pepper

Time for the Shrimp Festival!
It's that time again, for one of my favorite festivals! The 60th annual, Delcambre Shrimp Festival, kicked off last night and runs through Sunday! There will be tons of shrimp, they have assured us, prepared every which way that you can imagine, lots of great live music, with an all day, fais do do on Saturday, a carnival for the kids, and the blessing of the fleet on Sunday. But what I'm looking forward to the most is the Shrimp Cook-Off, which is taking place, tomorrow, Saturday, August 21, beginning at 9:00am, with tastings beginning around noon. I can't wait to taste all of the different entries in this shrimp lover's event! For a complete schedule, click here. Come on out and support our shrimpers and let the good times roll!
Wishing you all a wonderful, fun-filled weekend! Merci beaucoup for stopping by!

Saygılar.
FAntastic, I planned gumbo for dinner.. may rethink that.. have a great weekend!
A great recipe.. I ate an awful lot of shrimp while away, never did quite get the spices right for my cakes... ready to give these a try!
great timely post for me!
Honey chile, you gotta publish your book...I'm burnin' out the printer!
Salivating already! Got to print out this one.
first time i've ever heard of "shrimp cakes"...no kidding!
Wish I lived closer I'd be there in a second. I remember traveling in the Baja years ago and seeing the shrimp boats. I ordered a bowl of shrimp soup for 40 cents back then (way back) and I got a bowl with broth and the unpeeled shrimp and there were so many shrimp in the bowl I couldn't believe it. The cookbook would really be a good thing for sure.
oh my goodness, those shrimp cake look amazing!! wowser, i love the corn in them, I bet they were so flavorful, I think this would be a good addition to my school menu!! (and at home too!!)
thanks for the inspiration!
Hi,
I am happy to have found you and after a walk through I see I have a lot- a whole lot of looking at recipes to do.
Shrimp- my husband once accused me of trying to deplete the shrimp population.
These and the blueberries below--- I have more frozen blueberries then you can shake a stick at-Bumper crop.
I know where I'll be hanging for a while.
Alas - GMR only has a sister - but she's single - but, well, that wouldn't work right, would it? *laughing*
I'm calling out your recipe to GMR now - oh dear does that look good!

wait a minute, big ol' shrimp fritters with corn covered in jalapenos ... I'm just speechless cause my tastebuds are quivering
Hey Marguerite, I made a Banana crunch cake from your recipe a couple of posts ago.... AWESOME! I didn't have any real rum so I used rum flavouring, but next time I'm going to make sure I have the real stuff.
Now perhaps I have to try the shrimp cakes.
Those shrimp cakes sound divine. I am not kidding. I'm going to make these within the next couple of weeks.
