DOGS BATHS AND SHRIMP/SALMON CAKES

Today........was bath day for the dogs........such an ordeal.......Molly sits quietly and enjoys her bath.  Then immediately goes and rolls in the grass.  Ben hates his bath and one of us has to hold him while the other scrubs. We were successful and even cut a few nails which he hates more than the bath.  So........two beautiful white clean dogs!

Not sure where I got this recipe but it is a favorite. We love shrimp/salmon or even crab.....if we could get it.......cakes.  Peel and devein (is that a word?) your shrimp and chop up. Add 1 egg, some chopped gr onion, juice of a fresh lemon, a squirt of Dijon mustard, a tiny chopped cilantro, shot of Tabasco, and salt and pepper.  Mush that all up good and add about a cup of panko......depending on how much you are making.  Then form into patties and roll in some more panko. Put in frig for at least 10 min. Fry in oil........peanut oil is best but not necessary.

Now the best part.........serve with this sauce: CHILI LIME CREAM SAUCE
In a pan put 1/4 cup white wine, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1Tblsp chopped fresh ginger, 1 Tblsp chopped onion (really fine) and bring to a boil.......just takes a min. Reduce to about 1/2....then add about 1 Tblsp of Sriracha (that chinese hot sauce) and 1/3 cup cream.......reduce again and add about 6 Tblsp of rm temp butter..........whisk like made.......this is so good you can drink it!!
