Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the chopped shrimp with the panko, eggs and remaining ingredients up to the black pepper. Form the mixture into eight 3/4-inch-thick cakes. Place additional panko bread crumbs in a plate (about 1 - 1 1/2 cups) and dredge to cover both sides of the crab cakes.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. In batches, add the shrimp cakes and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes total.
Step 4
Transfer to plates and serve with the Dipping Sauce and lemon wedges. Enjoy!
