Heat 1 " of Ultra Premium olive oil in a heavy, wide frying pan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees on a deep fry thermometer.
In a medium bowl, mix together all of the ingredients, reserving 1 cup of panko bread crumbs for breading the shrimp cakes. Place the panko crumbs in a wide dish. Portion the cakes evenly into four patties and coat thoroughly with the reserved panko break crumbs.
