3 medium scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Servings: 4

Dry shrimp well with a paper towel then place the shrimp in the food processor along with jalapeño and garlic then pulse a few times until almost pasty. Combine the shrimp in a large bowl with remaining ingredients and mix well to combine.

Using rubber gloves (easier with gloves), form shrimp into 4 patties. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with oil. Add the shrimp cakes to the heated grill and cook 4 minutes without disturbing, then gently flip and cook an additional 4 minutes.

Serve with fresh lime juice and top with thin slices of avocado. Makes 4.
