How to Make Cajun Shrimp Cakes With Andouille Sausage

  1. Combine 1 lb cooked shrimp and 1 cup chopped andouille sausage (or kielbasa/smoked sausage) in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped, but not pureed.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
  4. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a large bowl.
  5. Add the shrimp and sausage mixture to the bowl.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 large egg, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon seasoned salt (or 1 tbsp of recipe #186029), and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 24 hours for enhanced flavor).
  8. Shape the mixture into 14-16 patties (approximately 3 inches in diameter).
  9. Place 2 cups breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
  10. Coat each patty in breadcrumbs, gently pressing to adhere.
  11. Transfer the breaded patties to a baking sheet or large plate. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
  12. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  13. Cook the shrimp cakes for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
