Shrimp Burger Pitas

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 teaspoons green seasoning (see recipe below)

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 shallot, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

freshly ground pepper to taste

1/4 cup canola oil

1 cup cornmeal, or more as needed

4 large pita breads or small rotis

tomato slices for garnish

1. Place the shrimp, green seasoning, and heavy cream in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to achieve a thick paste, about 1 minute.

2. Remove the shrimp mixture from the bowl and add the shallot, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Chill the mixture for 15 minutes.

3. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the canola oil. Remove the shrimp mixture and mold it into patties if using pita, or “cigars,” 5 inches long and 2 inches wide, if using rotis.

4. Dredge the shrimp patties in cornmeal and then place them in the frying pan, turning the heat down to medium-low. Cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

5. Place each patty into a pita and garnish with tomato slices, and jicama watercress slaw (see recipe below). If using rotis, place each shrimp “cigar” on a roti, garnish with tomato slices and slaw, and roll up. Serve with cassava or plantain chips on the side.
