As a nutritionists, a big part of my job is listening to what can only be called food confessionals. My clients tell me about the food they ate, the food they wish they didn't eat and the food they long to eat. Often times transference happens - a food craving is passed from my client to me. Last week Rich (who you can also thank for the roasted chick peas) told me about a shrimp burgers he bought from Whole Foods Market. It sounded delicious. Not surprisingly the image of shrimp burgers became firmly implanted in my brain. This weekend, I made a version using shrimp and pork for my family to rave reviews.

When my oldest son came home from school, he asked to eat the leftovers. But there were none. That's the sign of a delicious recipe!
