Need dinner fast? These shrimp patty sandwiches pack a protein punch with cooked (or canned) shrimp and flaky whitefish. Pancake mix is the secret to the ultimate seafood shack experience.
Instructions
1
Mix the patty ingredients
2
In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the canned or cooked shrimp, cooked haddock, pancake mix, cornmeal, dried parsley, celery salt, ground mustard and paprika. Mix the ingredients well. Editor's Tip: If you're starting with raw seafood, clean the shrimp and then saute them in a hot oiled skillet for two to three minutes or until they turn pink and opaque, and curl into a C shape. Haddock is often baked or broiled, like in this haddock with lime-cilantro butter recipe.

Shape the patties
4
Shape the mixture into eight patties. Coat each shrimp patty with bread crumbs. Editor's Tip: Place the bread crumbs into a bowl. The higher sides will prevent the bread crumbs from going everywhere when you press the shrimp patties into them.
5
Cook the patties
6
In a large cast-iron or heavy skillet, cook the shrimp patties in the oil over medium-high heat until they're golden brown, about two minutes on each side. Editor's Tip: Make sure the oil is at the right temperature before adding the patties to the pan, and cook them in batches as needed. Too-hot oil will burn the coating before the patties cook in the middle, and too-cool oil will make the bread crumbs soggy. Heat the oil until it shimmers slightly but doesn't smoke (around 350°F).

Serve the sandwiches
8
Serve the shrimp patties on hamburger buns. Top each patty with lettuce, tomato, onion and Sriracha mayonnaise as desired.
