Thai Style Crab and Prawn Cakes
This is the other recipe I tagged for the game that I play on zaar. We had this as a starter before the the Thai green fish curry. It made for a fabulous meal and one that I have saved into my favourites to be enjoyed again and again. I use slightly more curry paste than listed but I had more crab meat and prawns than listed, I also used large green prawns chopped very small as this is what I had on hand. As well as adding the breadcrumbs to the mix I also patted some panko flakes onto the outside of the cakes to give them a nice crispy coating on the outside.
