If you’re a fan of crab cakes, you’ve got to try these Thai-flavored shrimp cakes. The sweet, salty taste of shrimp really shines through when seasoned with the classic Thai trifecta of flavor: fish sauce, lime juice, and chili sauce.

To ensure even cooking and cakes that hold together well, be sure to take an extra minute to finely dice all the veggies. To turn any leftovers into lunch, serve shrimp cakes on a toasted whole-wheat English muffin with a smear of Sriracha mayo, lettuce, and tomato.

1 pound peeled and deveined raw medium shrimp, chopped

1 ⅓ cups whole-wheat panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), divided

½ cup finely diced yellow onion

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

4 teaspoons fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons fish sauce

2 teaspoons Thai sweet chili sauce
