SHRIMP BURGER

Steps:

• Saute the celery, carrots, onions, herbs, garlic, bay leaf, paprika and salt, pepper and sugar to taste (this is called a sofrito) in a medium saute pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool until ready to use.
• Pulse the shrimp in a food processor, leaving some larger shrimp pieces. Mix with the sofrito and sprinkle with salt.
• Form the shrimp mixture into 4 to 6 burger patties. Sprinkle both sides of the burgers with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large saute pan with the butter over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Pull the burgers from the pan and toast the buns in the butter (you may need to add a little more butter at this step, depending on how much is left in the pan).
• To serve, top the burger with Aioli and Cabbage-Apple Slaw.
• Place the egg yolks, lemon juice and hot sauce in a food processor and pulse to combine.
• While the food processor is running, slowly add the oil to form an emulsion. Once the egg yolks and oil have emulsified, thin out with water (about 1/4 cup) and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the herbs. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Mix together the cabbage and apples in a large bowl and season with salt.
• Combine the lemon juice, olive oil and thyme in a small bowl. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Mix the slaw with the dressing.

CALYPSO SHRIMP AND SCALLOP BURGERS

Steps:

• You can half the above to make three (3) servings instead of six (6). Burgers: In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, coarse chop the shrimp (in batches if necessary so you don't end up with a puree; you want it to be slightly chunky). Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with the scallops being careful to chop, not puree them. Add to the shrimp in the bowl. TIP: I find it easier to hand chop the shrimp and scallops to get the right "chunk" consistency. Add the salt, egg white and sherry; mix well. (You might find clean hands work well here.) Add the cornstarch and mix in gently. In a large skillet, heat the clarified butter over medium heat. Place the flour in a wide bowl. Divide the fish mixture into 6 mounds and place each in the flour to coat well. Carefully form each into a patty (the mixture will be somewhat loose so this may take a little care). Place the patties into the preheated pan and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully turn over and cook until golden brown on the other side. The "burgers" will firm up considerably while cooking. Serve each hot on a soft Kaiser roll with a piece of lettuce, a tomato slice and 2 tablespoons Stone Crab Sauce. Mustard Sauce: The accompanying piquant Stone Crab Mustard Sauce is a combination of mayonnaise, Dijon and yellow mustards, horseradish and a touch of Tabasco, which gives just enough zing to each bite. Its name, of course, comes from the fact it would also be good with stone crab.
