Title: Carrigan's Grill Shrimp Burgers
Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Herbs, Chilies, Breads
Yield: 8 Patties

1 tb Butter
3/4 c Fine chopped yellow onion
1/4 c Fine chopped celery
1/4 c Fine chopped bell pepper
1 1/2 ts Salt
3/4 ts Cayenne pepper
2 lb Shrimp; peeled, deveined,
- chopped or ground *
2 ts Chopped garlic
1/4 c Sliced scallion greens
2 lg Eggs; beaten
+=PLUS=+
1 lg Egg; beaten, divided use
2 c Fine dried bread crumbs;
- divided use
1/2 c All-purpose flour
2 ts Dirty Dave's Seasoning
- (recipe follows)
2 tb Water
1/4 c Oil

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add
the onions, celery, bell pepper, salt, and cayenne. Cook,
stirring, until soft for about 6 minutes.

Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and let cool
slightly. Add the garlic, green onions, 2 of the eggs,
and 1 cup of the bread crumbs. Stir to mix well. Divide
into 8 equal portions and form into patties. Set aside.

Put the flour in a shallow bowl and season with 1
teaspoon of the Dirty Dave's seasoning. Put the remaining
1 cup bread crumbs in another shallow bowl and season
with the remaining 1 teaspoon Dirty Dave's seasoning. Put
the beaten egg in yet another shallow bowl, add the water
and beat lightly.

Heat the oil in 2 large skillets over medium heat. Dredge
each patty first in the flour, then in the egg mixture,
then in the bread crumbs, turning to coat completely and
shaking off any excess. Cook 4 patties at a time in each
skillet, until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes on each
side. Drain on paper towels.

* Depending on time, energy and inclination I sometimes
chopped the shrimp, sometimes ran through the meat
grinder using the medium plate.

Serve on toasted buns with the usual condiments.

Makes 8 patties/sandwiches
