Canned Shrimp Saves the Day

Janet Groene’s
Shrimpburgers for Two
 
    Canned shrimp is just right for this recipe. You can always have it on hand and it mashes easily with a fork to make a burger. Make a meal of the burgers in Kaiser buns, sliced beefsteak tomatoes, a steam-in-the-bag vegetable medley and lemon gelato for dessert.
1 egg
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 drops hot sauce
½ teaspoon fresh or dried lemon zest
2 cans, 4 to 4.15 ounces each, shrimp
2 scallions, thinly sliced
About 1 tablespoon unseasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

    In a bowl, whisk the egg, mayonnaise, hot sauce and lemon zest until smooth. Drain shrimp and pick out any foreign matter.  Add shrimp and mash with a fork until well mixed. Stir in scallions and add bread crumbs until the mixture can be formed into two patties.
    Heat oil and fry patties until toasty on both sides. Makes two burgers.
