In a bowl, mash potatoes to a purée. Add ground shrimp, Cotija cheese, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Using a spoon, mix until incorporated. Take a bit of the previous preparation with your hands and form cakes. In a skillet with a dash of oil, fry shrimp potato cakes for some minutes or until golden-brown. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. For the green sauce: In a small pot with water, boil tomatillos, onion, and chiles for about 10 minutes. Cool slightly and drain. Transfer to a blender and blend to a sauce. In a pot over medium heat, heat oil and fry the sauce. Once it comes to a boil, cook for 10 minutes. Add nopales, season, and set aside. Serve green sauce with nopales on a plate, place shrimp cakes on top and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
