Stone Parsley and Shrimp Pancake Recipe: Making Delicious Stone Parsley Dishes Even Kids Enjoy
I received a generous bunch of fresh stone parsley from my hometown! While it’s delicious in spicy seafood salads or simply dressed, today I’m making a special Stone Parsley and Shrimp Pancake for my kids. Getting children to eat enough vegetables is always a challenge, but this pancake is a fantastic way to ensure they enjoy their greens without any fuss. It’s perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and sure to be a hit with everyone from toddlers to adults!
Key Ingredients- 2 large handfuls of fresh stone parsley
- 20 peeled and deveined frozen shrimp, thawed
- 6 tablespoons of pancake mix (generously scooped with a rice spoon)
- Soy sauce (for dipping)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the stone parsley thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Drain it well and set aside in a colander.
Step 2
To quickly thaw the frozen shrimp, place them in a bowl of cool water. Once thawed, pat them dry and set aside.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious batter. Add 6 heaping tablespoons of pancake mix (or all-purpose flour) to a bowl. Pour in 300ml of water and whisk until well combined. Aim for a slightly thin batter, similar to the consistency of thin rice porridge – this is key for a tender pancake.
Step 4
For dishes like this, where vegetables are the star, a thinner batter allows the ingredients’ natural flavors to shine through more than a thick, floury coating. This will really highlight the fragrant stone parsley and the sweet shrimp.
Step 5
Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Ladle spoonfuls of the batter onto the hot pan, spreading them into small rounds. Gently press one thawed shrimp into each pancake. If you’re worried about the shrimp sliding off due to the thin batter, you can add a tiny bit more water to the batter and use the back of your spoon to press the shrimp into the batter, ensuring they stay in place.
Step 6
Flip the pancakes and cook until both sides are beautifully golden brown and crispy. Ensure they are cooked through to perfection.
Step 7
Watch as this generous stack of stone parsley and shrimp pancake disappears in no time! Serve them hot with a little soy sauce for dipping. I was initially concerned about the strong flavor of stone parsley, but my kids absolutely loved them, which made me so happy. This healthy and delicious specialty dish is perfect for the whole family to enjoy. Don’t miss out on making this wonderful Stone Parsley and Shrimp Pancake!
