Note

Beau Monde seasoning is a classic all-purpose seasoning blend. If unavailable, substitute with a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of sage.

For best results, ensure the shrimp are thoroughly drained and chopped finely to help the patties hold their shape.

These patties are best served immediately while crisp. If reheating, use an oven or air fryer to maintain texture, as microwaving may make them soggy.

You can use any type of fresh shrimp, but blue shrimp are preferred for their sweet flavor and firm texture.
