Ingredients:
 

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (weight after peeled)
  • 1 large jalapeño, seeded and minced (for spicy, leave the seeds)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3 medium scallions, chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper


For topping:



  • 4 lime wedges
  • 1/2 medium avocado, sliced thin

Directions:

Dry shrimp well with a paper towel then place the shrimp in the food processor along with jalapeño and garlic then pulse a few times until almost pasty.

Combine the shrimp in a large bowl with remaining ingredients and mix well to combine.




Using rubber gloves (easier with gloves), form shrimp into 4 patties.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with oil. Add the shrimp cakes to the heated grill and cook 4 minutes without disturbing, then gently flip and cook an additional 4 minutes.





Serve with fresh lime juice and top with thin slices of avocado.
