Shrimp Patties

Savory shrimp mixed with egg and seasoning, pan-fried until golden and crispy. A beloved food truck classic you won't find back home.

About this dish

Shrimp patties are a distinctly Guamanian creation — you won't find anything quite like them outside the island. Made from whole or chopped shrimp mixed with egg, flour, and seasoning, they're pan-fried until golden and slightly crispy on the outside. The texture is dense and bouncy, with a pronounced seafood flavor. They're sold at local food trucks, plate lunch counters, and sometimes at Chamorro Village. Eaten hot, straight from the pan, with a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of finadene sauce — that's the proper way.
