Coconut Shrimp Cakes

Serves 2-4.

Shrimp Cakes:
1 pound shrimp, chopped
1/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind (from 1/2 lemon)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup flaked, sweetened coconut
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Sauce:
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon curry powder

Combine the Shrimp Cakes ingredients well in a bowl. Divide into 4 equal size portions. Shape into small patties.

Heat a saute pan, spray with cooking oil, then drizzle in a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Fry the patties on each side until crispy and golden brown.

Meanwhile, combine the Sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl. When the cakes are done, place one on a plate, top with a dollop of the curried mayonnaise and garnish with additional chopped chives and some finely sliced tomato.
