Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix together the shrimp, scallions, red bell pepper, chili pepper, garlic, eggs, gluten-free Panko, coconut flour, coconut flakes, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Make small 2 ½ inch thin patties and place them on a baking tray lined with foil or wax paper until ready for frying.

Transfer the cakes to a tray lined with paper towels to absorb the oil and sprinkle with more salt. Serve with the spicy aioli dipping sauce and garnish with chopped scallions and toasted coconut flakes.
  3. To make the Spicy Aoili: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sambal oelek.
