This is a seafood lover’s favorite! Flaky salmon and tender shrimp in a spicy, crispy cake – Keto Cajun salmon patties are perfect anytime.
Shrimp Patties
If you love finger food or you’re looking for something fun to serve at a party or potluck, then you’ve got to make these spicy and crispy patties. The firey Cajun seasoning mixes perfectly with the tender shrimp and filling salmon.
Since you’re frying them in a skillet with oil, they will turn out so crispy that every bite is delightful.
This is the perfect recipe to make if you want to make meal preps for the week ahead or if you just want something light to eat. There are 8 servings in this recipe, and each serving has just 2 grams net carbs each.
Salmon Patties
Salmon is filled with tons of healthy fats – the exact kind that you need for brain development and to keep your body in fat-burning mode. You can totally use fresh salmon that you cook and then chop up.
To save yourself time, just use a can of salmon. It’s safe to eat and is already salted, too.
I love the flavor and texture of seafood patties! After you make these Cajun patties, make some milder ones.
My Keto Salmon Patties with Parmesan Cheese are really popular for anyone that prefer Italian flavors.
Cajun Salmon Patties
You can make the salmon and shrimp patties as spicy or mild as you want. To make them spicier, add some chopped jalapeno peppers and red pepper flakes.
To make them taste milder, use less Cajun seasoning.
There are a few ingredient prep things you can do ahead of time that will speed up the process. Pre-chop the onion and bell peppers and store them in an airtight container or use some frozen onions and peppers.
You can also buy peeled, deveined shrimp with the tails already removed.
Keto Shrimp Patties
Add the crispy and tasty keto shrimp and salmon patties to your weekly meal prep. To keep them crispy, I suggest reheating them in a skillet or air fryer.
Store the patties in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to three days. The patties are also freezer-friendly.
Just place the gluten-free salmon patties into a freezer-safe bag, seal it, and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Then, reheat them in a skillet until they’re heated all the way through.
What To Eat With Shrimp
The shrimp and salmon patties make a very filling and delicious meal. Some garlic butter cauliflower rice is the perfect thing to serve on the side with any kind of seafood.
I also suggest making some keto crack biscuits or low-carb rosemary rolls with the patties. Keto coleslaw is another classic recipe that always tastes perfect with shrimp and salmon patties.
