Ingredients:
1 pound cooked peeled medium shrimp, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups) |
1 cup 1/2-inch cubes andouille sausage* (about 4 ounces) |
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter |
1/2 cup minced green bell pepper |
1/4 cup minced onion |
1/3 cup mayonnaise |
1 1/4 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless french bread |
1 green onion, minced |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
Directions:
1. Coarsely chop shrimp and sausage in processor, using on/off turns. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in small skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper and onion; sauté until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl; cool. Add shrimp and sausage to vegetable mixture. Stir in mayonnaise, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, green onion, and mustard; season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
2. Form shrimp mixture into eight 1-inch-thick cakes. Place remaining 3/4 cup breadcrumbs on plate. Coat each cake with crumbs, patting to adhere. Transfer to plate; cover and chill 15 minutes or up to 1 day.
3. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add shrimp cakes; sauté until brown, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer 1 cake to each of 6 plates and serve.
4. * Andouille sausage can be found in specialty foods stores and some supermarkets. You can substitute hot links, kielbasa sausage or smoked Hungarian sausage in these recipes.
