Potato Chip Shrimp Cakes

It’s time for another Improv Challenge (a monthly recipe bloghop where Kristen @ Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker assigns two ingredients and all us participants get cooking.) And this month’s theme is…Fish & Chips!
Of course, this is the traditional British battered and fried cod and potato dish but part of the fun is to get creative with the two ingredients. Here I may have taken some liberty by using shrimp, which technically is shellfish and not fish fish. But fish will get its due in this post – no worries.  
Looking for a delicious summer appetizer? These Potato Chip Shrimp Cakes from Cooking Hawaiian Style are the best! If you prefer swap in salmon, canned tuna or cod.
