Ingredients:
1-2 lb shrimp, cooked and chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1/2 green pepper, finely chopped
2 TB minced garlic
1/2 jalapeno, finely chopped
1 15oz. can black beans, mashed
2 TB butter or olive oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup wholewheat breadcrumbs
1/2 cup panko
1/2 cup lowfat mayo or fat free plain yogurt
salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning to taste
olive oil for frying
cheese of your choice, sliced to fit patty (I suggest Pepper Jack for that extra kick)
rolls or hoagie buns cut in half
Directions:
1.) Combine cooked shrimp, onion, celery, peppers, and garlic in your favorite food processor and let it do the fine chopping for you.
2.) Melt 2 TB of butter or olive oil in pan and saute shrimp, vegetables and garlic until vegetables are tender. While cooking, add salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning to your liking. Set aside to cool.
3.) In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs and mix with 1/2 cup of mayo/yogurt. Add the shrimp mixture, breadcrumbs, and mashed beans. Mixed together to form a firm yet workable consistency. By hand, roll into patties and bread with panko.
4.) Heat oil over medium heat and fry patties 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
5.) lightly spread butter or oil on insides of bread and toast until lightly brown. Assemble with shrimp patty and cheese and place back in oven until heated through and cheese is melted.
Stack with your favorite garnishes: lettuce, tomato, pickles, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, pico de gallo, coleslaw, fried onions, or whatever else floats your boat :)
