Hey David! Looks delicious yet simple!
I am planning to make these. Can the patties be baked? What’s the oven settings – please guide.
Thanks
Yes, you can bake the shrimp patties! Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F), place the patties on a lined baking sheet, spray or brush lightly with oil, and bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until golden and cooked through.
Made it. Loved it. DANG!
I’m gonna make those!
