Shrimp & Scallop Sausage-8 sandwiches

1 1/4 lbs Scallops

1 1/4 lbs. Shrimp (peeled deveined and tail off)

3/4 lb smoked bacon

½ lg Spanish onion, diced

1 cup fresh parsley (curly)

2 Tbsp Old Bay Seasoning

1 Tbsp ground coriander

2 Tbsp ground fennel seed

2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp cayenne

Salt

Pepper

 

Using either a grinder attachment for a kitchen aid mixer or food processor,  or finely “grind” the shrimp, scallops, bacon, onion, and parsley. Fold in spices and let rest for approx. ½ hour. Make a test patty: Form one very small patty and sauté in olive oil over medium low heat. When fully cooked, taste to check for seasoning adjustments. (When making this keep in mind that no 2 batches will have the same flavor, so it’s important to adjust to your preference. i.e. salt, pepper, and cayenne.)  When you have corrected your seasoning, form the rest of the mixture into patties, and either grille or sauté in a pan with small amount of oil. (You should be able to get approximately 8 7–oz patties). 

Roasted Tomato- Soy Aioli

3 plum tomatoes

1 Tbsp Soy sauce

1 cup Mayo

 Split and toss tomatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them in a 425 degree oven and cook until they are charred, approx. 20 min. Remove from oven and let cool. Puree the tomatoes. Mix together tomatoes, soy, and mayonnaise.  Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper

 To serve:

Lettuce, tomato, roatstd tomato-soy aioli, and patty on a bulky roll. I like to use Kaiser rolls.
