For the sauce:

For the cakes:

Add the oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and pepper and saute until soft. Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp turns pink. Let it cool, then add the remaining ingredients and mix gently. Do not over mix. Form the mixture into 8-ounce balls, then flatten them into patties.

Grill the patties on both sides until heated through. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the red pepper sauce.
