Shrimp Cakes, Avocado Salad, Dill-Yogurt Sauce

>
While  my stomach tells me that the larger the shrimp, the more I love the dish, my wallet sometimes pulls back the reins and tells me to take it easy 😦
So last week when I went to the store to buy shrimp for this dish, these small salad shrimp for $7.75 a pound seemed more suitable than the large ones for $28.00 a pound. (My wallet insisted). I had planned to chop the shrimp, then add peppers, seasoning and an egg white and prepare shrimp cakes in the traditional way. However, these here babies with the tiny cooked shrimp turned out to be just as good, perhaps even better. The texture is of course very different from patties made from chopped raw shrimp, but as I said, not inferior, and maybe even better.
Hurray for the  cheaper  solution. (Ooops, of course I mean the more economical solution ) 😦
And there you have it – more expensive is not always better!  (However, most of the time, it really is) 🙂
