Shrimp and Scallop Burgers
12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 sea scallops
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped, fresh ginger
1 cup chopped scallions
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons mirin

Preheat oven to 350˚ F.
Coarsely chop the shrimp and scallops in a food processor — do not over-process. Transfer the seafood to a bowl and mix with the garlic, ginger, scallions, sesame oil, mirin, and soy sauce. Mold into four 1½-inch-thick burgers.
Heat a little vegetable oil in a sauté pan over medium heat and cook the burgers on both sides until golden, about two to three minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook in the oven for 10 minutes, until cooked through. Serve with avocado and mango dressing (recipe follows).
