Some recipes just sneak up on you and become a weekly staple without you even planning it — and that’s exactly what happened with these Miniature Shrimp Patties in our house.
After a week of heavy, indulgent meals, these little patties are my go-to reset. They’re light, golden, and packed with flavor, and because shrimp cooks so fast, dinner is on the table in 25 minutes flat. My family loves them three different ways — tucked into fresh baked buns with tartar sauce, served over rice with sweet and sour sauce, or just eaten straight off the plate as a snack. (Honestly, that last one happens most often.)
Simple ingredients, quick prep, and a whole lot of delicious. Let’s make them!
