1
To prepare cakes, place shrimp in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until finely chopped. Set aside.
2
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add bell pepper to pan; saute 3 minutes. Add garlic to pan; saute for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Place bell pepper mixture in a large bowl. Add shrimp, green onions, and the next 6 ingredients (through egg), stirring well. Stir in cilantro and 1/4 cup panko.
3
Divide shrimp mixture into 10 equal portions, shaping each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Dredge both sides of patties in remaining 1/2 cup panko. Chill at least one hour.
4
Heat pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add 5 cakes to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from pan; cover and keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining cakes.
5
To prepare salsa, combine corn and remaining ingredients; stir gently. Serve immediately with shrimp cakes.
6
These spicy cakes get their heat from the hot sauce so feel free to leave it out if you prefer a mild flavor. Double the salsa and serve it over a salad or as an appetizer with baked tortilla chips.
