Inspired Chaos

My kitchen is a seafood processing plant tonight. One very time-consuming, messy, yet genius recipe is the cause of such chaos. That recipe is for lobster-shrimp cakes. Cap and I both spotted the dish on channel 6's program "207" a few weeks ago. Rodger Griswald and a chef somehow condensed this recipe into 10 minutes. Isn't it outrageous how they can do that on TV?

I cooked this for my date last night and got such a sweet kiss in return that I set my mind to freezing more lobster and shrimp for another meal down the road! It was a little less overwhelming when I froze the seafood beforehand and then had it all ready to go for this dish. Today we caught a few more lobsters in some ghost traps that we brought ashore. Cap offered them to me and I gladly took them with visions of eating lobster-shrimp cakes some day this summer when shrimping is but a hazy memory (that'll be the day!). And of course we caught plenty of shrimp, so I swiped a few handfuls to take home.
