Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Take 2/3 of your beans and mash into a paste in a bowl or use your food processor to do the work for you.
  2. Fold in remaining whole beans, chopped shrimp, onion, chili, salt, pepper, cumin, and a handful of fresh chopped cilantro.
  3. Form mixture into 6 even patties and allow to chill for at least 30 minutes to overnight. This will let them firm up and make frying easier.
  4. When ready to fry, heat about 1/2 an inch of oil until nearly smoking.
  5. Meanwhile, coat bean patties with flour, handling them carefully so they do not fall apart.
  6. Carefully place patties into oil, a couple at a time, and allow to cook 4-5 minutes on each side or until crispy and shrimp is done.
  7. Drain on paper towels and serve with fresh mango salsa and tomato salad.
