Made these tonight and LOVED them!! They had that slight kick I had been looking for. Will definitely be making these again!

Much better than all-tuna cakes, which I usually make all-tuna cakes due to the cost factor of crab cakes. Here the shrimp really tempers the strong flavor/odor of canned tuna and adds lightness and sweetness. Pretty amazing cakes considering there are no fresh vegetables involved in the cakes themselves, not even any fresh parsley.

Tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! I didn't have all of the ingredients but added cumin and seasoned breadcrumbs... delicious!
