Chipotle BBQ Shrimp Cakes (Paleo & Low Carb)

Prepare yourself to take the regular shrimp to another level! These Chipotle BBQ Shrimp Cakes are going to blow your mind. Super easy to make that you'll only need your food processor (or blender) and your oven for this recipe!

Okay, this is a recipe that I genuinely wanted to make in years (I'm not even kidding!) and it finally happened! I made this during lent season so my freezer was loaded with seafood, and of course, shrimp is one of those essential foods.

From a seafood lover to another (or not), we all know that fish can be kind of plain and boring to cook sometimes, or maybe the ideas are just the same but I'm here to show you with this post that seafood is super versatile, you gotta get creative!

For this recipe I added that Chipotle BBQ taste thanks to Siete Foods new potato chips, in Chipotle BBQ flavor of course and guys, it goes so well with this recipe. It really saves the step of adding flavors and texture to the recipe since we are also blending it to create a flour base.

Stepping up the shrimp game with these easy Shrimp Cakes! They are super flavorful and they have a great consistency. We are using simple, and minimal ingredients. And of course, there's always an alternative, if you don't have those chips (although they are amazing with this recipe) you can also use almond flour.
