Recipe of the Day: Shrimp Cakes w/ Spinach Slaw and Coconut Almond Dressing

Perfect night before Easter meal.  It's warmer today and these sound incredible!  


Ingredients
Shrimp Cakes:

• 1 pound raw shrimp, shelled, deveined and roughly chopped
• ¼ cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1 teaspoon minced jalapeño or Thai pepper

Salad:

• 4 ounces fresh spinach leaves (about 2 large handfuls)
• 1 cup grated purple cabbage
• 2 carrots, grated
• 1 cucumber, finely chopped

Instructions

In a food processor pulse shrimp, coconut milk, cilantro and hot pepper 10–15 times until ingredients are combined but the texture is still slightly chunky. Heat several tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. For bite-sized shrimp cakes, use a tablespoon measurement to scoop up shrimp batter and drop it into the pan. This will make 16–18 small cakes. Cook each side 2–3 minutes, until nicely browned. Set shrimp cakes aside.

Mix the salad ingredients together in a bowl and toss with Coconut Almond dressing. Garnish with shrimp cakes on top.
