Shrimp Pancake (20 minutes only!)

Healthy, delicious, AND Easy Shrimp Pancake is a must-have dish you need to try!

You can enjoy the Shrimp Pancake as an appetizer or serve it on top of rice and noodles.

Hand-chopped Shrimp Pancake takes less than 20 minutes to make at home and is the perfect dish to serve at dinner parties. 

My Shrimp Pancake was inspired by the Shrimp Dumpling fillings you find at Dim-Sum restaurants.

I go to dim-sum, I always order Shrimp Dumplings. I especially love how the filling is packed with shrimp and is super juicy and savory.

Here is an easy version that requires no wrapping, doesn’t contain pork, and takes less than 20 minutes. 

Whenever I serve my Shrimp Pancake at dinner parties, it is always a crowd-pleaser.

Not only do adults love it, the kids especially love it too! I like to serve the shrimp pancake with sweet and sour sauce or plum sauce on the side as the perfect appetizer.

Depending on how many guests you have, you can also make the pancake into smaller bite-size pieces to serve as finger food.

All you need to make shrimp pancake is shrimp, oyster sauce, white pepper, dashi powder, and corn starch.

I am using vegetarian oyster sauce today as I find it to be slightly sweeter, which helps enhance the flavourful of the pancake.

If you are gluten-free or keto, you can use gluten-free soy sauce instead of oyster sauce.
