SHRIMP BURGERS - Time: 1 hour

1 pound shrimp 
2 tablespoons scallions 
3 tablespoons diced celery 
2 tablespoons chopped parsley 
11/2 teaspoons lemon  zest 
3 tablespoons mayonnaise (NOT Miracle Whip)
1 cup cornbread crumbs (or bread crumbs) 
1 egg, beaten 
Salt and pepper, to taste 
Tabasco sauce, to taste (of course - this is my recipe, you know) 
1 tablespoon peanut oil 

1. Cook and peel the shrimp, and chop.

2. In a large bowl mix the shrimp with the scallions, parsley, and lemon zest. 
Stir in the mayonnaise, cornbread crumbs and the egg, and 
  beat with a whisk or wooden spoon until evenly distributed. 
Season w/ salt, pepper & tabasco to taste.

3. Form into patties and saute in peanut oil until both sides are nicely browned. 
Drain on paper towel. 
Serve on hamburger buns or choice of bread with lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce. 
NOTE: really hard crusty stuff is not, IMO best; hearty, but softer stuff, w/seeds 
or w/o depending on personal preference is GOOD. 
Some like it with lots of tartar sauce, but I don't unless it's homemade.

Yield: 4 servings.
