On February 1st, 2018 my life changed. I started to see the world in a different light, especially my breakfast. Why? Because I made shrimp pancakes.
I know what you’re thinking but just stop thinking it. Stop thinking about the sweet maple syrup covered pancakes you’re used to and look at them with a different lens. Imagine a pancake that’s savory, just a little spicy, and truly satisfies every taste bud. This shrimp pancake recipe but Jessica Tong RD will be sure to leave you speechless.

Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, red bell peppers, scallions, ginger and red peppers flakes.
