Kofta is typically made with various ground meats, but this pescatarian version makes for a hearty appetizer. These Shrimp Kofta are a simple, protein-packed solution and they come together quickly by combining ingredients into a food processor and mixing until a paste-like consistency is formed.

Instructions

Add ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Secure lid and pulse several times, until ingredients are broken up and just combined into a paste-like mixture. Do not overmix.

In a large skillet heated to medium-high, add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Use a 3-tablespoon scoop to drop shrimp mixture into the oil. Flatten each with the back of a spatula. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Drain patties on a paper towel-lined plate while you work in batches. The recipe yields 10 patties.

Serve with a side of Greek yogurt and lemon wedges or drizzled with sriracha or your favorite hot sauce.
