Drizzle in a little EVOO and add the green onions and garlic. Sauté for 2-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Turn off the heat and add the chili flakes. Let cool slightly. In a small food processor, blend the onion mixture with the egg to form a paste. Add the paste to the chopped shrimp. Mix to combine. Add in the salt, pepper and flour. Stir until everything is incorporated. In a medium-sized skillet, pour in enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Bring up to heat over medium. Using a small ice cream scoop or a 1/3 measuring cup, scoop the shrimp mixture into the pan and flatten down slightly. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. While the cakes cook, make the sauce. Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl and stir. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mash the avocado with the juice of 1 lime. To plate, place some mashed avocado on a plate followed by 1-2 cakes. Drizzle with a little sauce and sprinkle with some micro greens. Serve hot. ___ Subscribe to Tastemade: http://taste.md/1QsXIWq FIND us on Snapchat Discover: http://taste.md/1P9UuDM LIKE us on Facebook: http://taste.md/1Zf0Bve FOLLOW us on Instagram: http://taste.md/1OaAv4P More daily programming http://www.tastemade.com Watch us behind the scenes at Snapchat: @tastemade
