Thai shrimp cutlets

Delicious boiled shrimp cutlets cook very quickly. Despite the fact that the recipe uses oriental ingredients, they are not so difficult to find - cilantro, chili peppers, soy sauce, garlic. Basil can be taken not Thai, but ordinary. Try it.

Ingredients

• Boiled shrimps - 300 g
• Garlic - 3 cloves
• Cilantro
• Chili peppers, red, fresh - 2 pcs.
• Fish sauce (nam pla) - to taste (a little)
• Soy sauce - to taste
• Basil
• (preferably Thai basil with a subtle aroma and a sweetish taste)
• Juice of 2 limes
• Large egg - 1 pc.
• Vegetable oil (for example, sunflower) - 3-4 tbsp. l.
• Salt
• Ground black pepper
• Chili sauce sweet
• Arugula

Directions

1. Peel the shrimp and chop coarsely. Peel the cloves of garlic and leave intact. Peel the chili pepper from the seeds. Combine the first 8 ingredients in a blender (do not grind too much). Add beaten egg, salt, pepper and stir.
2. Heat some oil in a skillet over high heat. Spoon the shrimp into the pan with a tablespoon. Press down lightly to make the patties about 2 cm thick. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side. Add vegetable oil as needed. Place the cooked patties on a paper towel-lined plate (to absorb excess fat).
3. Serve the shrimp cutlets with arugula leaves and chili sauce.
4. Bon Appetit!
