Shrimp Pancake Recipe Spicy Haemul Pajeon

by
shrimp pancake

This spicy shrimp pancake makes a nice change from your average pancake or shrimp recipe. It’s a savory pancake dish that can be prepared quick and easy and served for any meal, even
breakfast, if you don’t mind looking at a shrimp first thing in the morning. I like big chunky pancakes full of shrimp and vegetables, especially lots of green onion, but you can easily make
smaller versions of this seafood pancake.

Ingredients for Shrimp Pancake Recipe

8-10 Lg SHRIMP
5-7 GREEN ONIONS
2 EGGS
¼ RED BELL PEPPER
HOT PEPPER slices (optional)
1 cup FLOUR
1 cup WATER
1 tsp CHILI POWDER
1 tsp PAPRIKA
1 tsp GARLIC POWDER
SALT and PEPPER (to taste)
2-3 Tbsp OIL for cooking
1 Tbsp melted BUTTER optional

¼ cup RICE VINEGAR
¼ cup SOY SAUCE

How to Make a Spicy Shrimp Pancake

  • Combine flour and water and mix well, the batter should be thin.
  • Add in melted butter (this is optional…sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t).
  • Add in spices and stir.
  • Chop slender green onions into approx. 1 inch pieces and add into batter (thicker onions should be sliced lengthwise first).
  • Add in chopped shrimp.
  • Add thinly sliced red bell pepper and hot peppers to batter and combine all until ingredients are well coated.
  • Heat oil in a non-stick skillet on medium high. Check current prices for non-stick skillets on Amazon.
  • Adjust temperature as needed through out cooking, but make sure the oil is hot before adding the batter.
  • Add batter to hot skillet and shape into a pancake shape. Make 1 big pancake, or make pancakes; this recipe easily serves 2 people.
  • Pour a beaten egg over the pancake top.
  • Cook until the cake is golden brown on bottom, about 4-6 minutes.
  • Turn the cake (or flip it–but with confidence!) and cook the eggy side for about 2 more minutes.

And that’s it!
Top with sour cream, soy sauce, or with a mixed dipping sauce.

Dipping Sauce Idea

Combine equal parts rice vinegar and soy sauce and mix well. Adding a little chili-garlic sauce is a nice touch, and and will provide a nice bite. For a sweeter sauce, add a little hoisin or plum
sauce, or just 1-2 tsp sugar.

Korean-style haemul pajeon is a delicious seafood pancake –and fun to make, too.

How To Make A Seafood Pancake

Mix sauce ingredients in a small dish and set aside.
Cut green onions in half and then lengthwise, then cut into 1” pieces. Finely chop 1 tsp of hot red pepper—a hot green pepper will do—but a red pepper makes the dish look yummier (also, add a little red bell pepper for color, if desired).
Chop seafood (seafood is ideal for this dish because it cooks quickly—use shrimp, squid, scallops, clams, etc.).
In a bowl, mix flour with cold water. Mix well until a thin batter is formed (add a drop more water if needed—the batter should be thin enough to coat the veggies and seafood thoroughly and spread evenly when poured into the skillet).
Add onions, peppers, and seafood to the batter and mix well.
Heat a skillet on medium high heat and add oil. When oil is heated, add batter and spread evenly. Cook for 4-6 minutes until the edges of the cake begin to brown—but before the edges brown, add 1 well-beaten egg to the top of the cake (tip: shake the skillet to spread the egg evenly over the cake). When the cake has cooked to a light brown on one side, turn and cook approx. 2 minutes on the other side (it won’t take long—be mindful to not burn the egg, but a light crispness makes this dish delicious)
Remove and serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
