Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 pound shelled and deveined shrimp, chopped
3/4 cup panko
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the hot sauce.
In a large bowl, mix the chopped shrimp with the panko, eggs, scallions, lemon zest, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Form the mixture into eight 3/4-inch-thick cakes.
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. Transfer to plates and serve with the spicy mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
