This is an amazing recipe from one of my local cookbooks. Roasted tomatoes give the shrimp sauce a deep flavor not found in bottled sauces. The tomatoes are great as a side dish, too. This is not a difficult recipe, but, some extra effort is required. Read more WELL worth it! Roasted the tomatoes, then make the sauce. The sauce needs about 4 hours of chill time for the flavors to marry. Shrimp cakes sit in the fridge for 30 minutes before frying. See less
