Asian Shrimp Pancakes
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 5 min./batch
YIELD: about 2-1/2 dozen.
I keep these crisp, colorful appetizer pancakes on the small side so my guests can easily pick them up with chopsticks and eat them in a few bites. I think the little shrimp-topped cakes are as good as any I've tasted in Asian restaurants. —Tonya Burkhard, Davis, Illinois
