Instructions
- Place the shrimp in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped - do not grind into a paste.
- Transfer the shrimp to a large bowl and add the panko breadcrumbs, red bell pepper, chives, salt, pepper, eggs, and lemon zest. Stir gently to combine.
- Form the shrimp mixture into 6 patties.

Notes
I like to garnish my shrimp cakes with more fresh chives and a dollop of sour cream.
