Thai Fried Shrimp Cakes

This tasty Thai appetizer comes from Three Hungry Tummies, an Australian food blog:

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of shrimp, peeled and rinsed (keep the heads and shells for other use)
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/2  tsp of sea salt
• 3 coriander roots, cleaned and chopped
• 1 tsp of white peppercorns
• breadcrumbs (I used ponko)
• oil for frying
• cucumber and tomato slices to serve
• sweet chilli sauce or plum sauce to serve

Pound garlic, salt, coriander roots and white peppercorns to a paste. This is also great as a marinade for bbq meat of fish.

Add paste to prawns and blend in a food processor til you get a thick paste.

Place prawn paste in a bowl and knead it til you get a sticky paste.

Form prawn paste into little patties and coat with breadcrumbs.
