Calypso Shrimp And Scallop Burgers

• Remember to buy your seafood at a reliable fish store.
• Burgers:
• 1 pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 14 ounces dry-pack (not soaked) fresh scallops
• Get a taste of our weekly Food and Wine newsletter
• 1 1 / 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 large egg white
• 1 / 4 cup dry sherry wine
• 1 / 4 cup cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons clarified butter
• TIP: Can also use cow ghee or olive oil.
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 6 soft Kaiser rolls
• 6 small pieces crisp fresh romaine lettuce
• 6 large fresh tomato slices (about 1 / 4 inch thick)
• Mustard Sauce:

1. You can half the above to make three (3) servings instead of six (6).
2. Burgers:
3. 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.
4. Repeat with the scallops being careful to chop, not puree them. Add to the shrimp in the bowl.
5. TIP: I find it easier to hand chop the shrimp and scallops to get the right "chunk" consistency.
6. Add the salt, egg white and sherry; mix well. (You might find clean hands work well here.) Add the cornstarch and mix in gently.
7. In a large skillet, heat the clarified butter over medium heat. Place the flour in a wide bowl.
8. 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).
9. 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.
10. Serve each hot on a soft Kaiser roll with a piece of lettuce, a tomato slice and 2 tablespoons Stone Crab Sauce.
11. Mustard Sauce:
12. The accompanying piquant Stone Crab Mustard Sauce is a combination of mayonnaise, Dijon and yellow mustards, horseradish and a touch of
13. 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.
