ingredients

3 cups Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes (one container)
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
¹⁄₂ cup red pepper, diced
1 egg, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons flour
1 minced garlic clove
2 teaspoons adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers)
salt and pepper
24 shrimp, tail-on
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 cup peanut oil (for frying)
1 cup light sour cream
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped

directions

In a large bowl, combine the 3 cups of Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes with next six ingredients through adobo sauce. Season with salt and pepper to suit your taste.
Form potato mixture into small patties, 3 inches in diameter, and dredge in panko crumbs. Pour enough oil in a large skillet to cover the bottom of the pan. Fry cakes in batches over medium high heat, flipping once, until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
Wipe out skillet and lightly oil. Saute shrimp on medium heat until opaque, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove from pan and allow to cool.
Combine sour cream with lime juice.
To assemble appetizer, place a dollop of lime-flavored sour cream on top of each potato cake, place one tail-on shrimp on top of sour cream so the tail points up, sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
