Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound (9 to 12) medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons minced white onions
1 tablespoon minced red bell pepper
1 , serrano chile kimmy, , finely chopped with seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh Corn Salsa

Steps:

1. Coarsely chop the raw shrimp and put them in a bowl. Mix in the onion, red pepper, serrano, and cumin. Add the egg, bread crumbs, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and form into 8 (2-inch) patties about 3/4-inch thick. Put the patties on an oiled platter, and refrigerate about 1 hour, or up to 6 hours before cooking. 2. In a large skillet, heat the oil until it shimmers, and cook the patties over medium heat until crisp and brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the patties, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until completely cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Put 2 patties on each of 4 plates. Put a dollop of crema or sour cream on top of the patties. Put about 2 tablespoons of corn salsa on the side of each serving. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
