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

Preparation

  1. Step 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.

    Step 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.

    Step 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.

    Step 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.
