Tequila Lime Shrimp Cakes
These tequila lime shrimp cakes are little packages of huge flavor. The majority of prep time is rest time, actually putting it all together does not take much time and effort. Using homemade herb lime mayo as a binder and a creamy avocado sauce to serve them with makes these such a home run!
