Directions
- In a bowl, combine the shrimp, onions, bell peppers and celery with the beaten egg. Add 1 teaspoon of the Essence, the salt, cayenne, green onions, parsley and baking powder and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for two hours.
- Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and form into 6 patties.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the cracker meal with the remaining teaspoon Essence. One at a time, dredge the patties on both sides to lightly coat.
