Fried Parsley-Flecked Shrimp Cakes

Rate & Review

These golden, bite-size, can't-stop-eating-them pancakes are called tortitas de camarones. They were invented in the fishing village of Zahara de los Atunes, in the Andalusian province of Cadiz. Their fame spread, and soon they became a trendy tapa at dinner parties all through southern Spain.

Pairing Suggestion

Bridge all the flavors in the three tapas with either a tangy white that's not too fruity or aggressive, or a fresh fino sherry; both will marry well with the shrimp, layered vegetable tortilla and earthy mushrooms. Try the 2002 Valle de la Vega Verdejo-Viura from Rueda or Domecq La Ina fino sherry.

Fried Parsley-Flecked Shrimp Cakes

This was a disappointing recipe. The cakes came out goopy and not crispy at all. I would  probably cook the shrimp and onion next time before making the cakes.
