Ingredients
2 cup Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) cooked from dry beans 1 cup Fresh Mint (by JILLSMYTH) 1 cup Parsley 6 clove Garlic 4 tsp Cumin seed 4 tsp Coriander seed 2 tsp Pepper, red or cayenne 1 large Egg, fresh, whole, raw 4 medium (4-1/8" long) Scallions, raw 4 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Pepper, black .25 cup Flour, white 1 fl oz Lemon Juice 8 oz Fage Total 0% Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt 4 oz Brussels sprouts raw (by CKLLOYD1) 3 tsp Kosher Salt (by 65PLUS1) 16 oz Shrimp, raw
Directions
Soak garbanzo beans overnight in enough water to cover completely, with a few extra inches over the top. Drain any water that hasn't soaked in and rinse the beans.

Place all ingredients except for shrimp, flour, yogurt, Brussels sprouts, and grapefruit in a food processor. NOTE: this shouldn't be pureed. Pulse until the mixture comes together, but is still grainy. Scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure a good mix.

Mix chopped shrimp into the garbanzo bean mixture until fully blended. Form the mixture into 12 equal-sized patties. Lightly pat exterior with flour and remove any excess. Spray a non-stick pan with cooking spray and raise to medium heat. Cook in a pan for about 2 minutes per side, until browned.

Juice and zest the grapefruit. Save 1/2 cup of juice. Boil Brussels sprouts in water for 5 minutes, then place in ice water to cool. Chop sprouts into small pieces. Combine ingredients in a food processor, and puree. Taste and add salt as desired. Serve with patties.
