The Create channel is doing a shrimp marathon of cooking shows right now.
Daisy of Daisy Cooks made this recipe for shrimp and bean cakes that looked
really good. Except for one thing. I don't like shrimp! Okay, two things.
It also calls for flour. Since Angela is allergic to wheat, I can't use
that. I presume I could use the gluten free, four flour blend that I use
for other things, or the sweet rice flour, or maybe even brown rice flour to
coat. So I guess that really isn't the problem. But the shrimp? I was
thinking I could substitute canned tuna. We both like that. But do you
think that would work? If I use tuna, should I change the seasonings? I
was thinking Italian seasoning might go better than the cumin and hot
pepper. And perhaps parsley for the cilantro? What do you think"?
Here's a link to the recipe.

I have looked online thinking I would find a tuna and bean cake recipe. I
didn't really. I did find a tuna and corn cake one but it called for bread
crumbs and I hate using gluten free bread for that. Just not so tasty. I'm
also allergic to eggs which are often in bean cakes, so this recipe looked
appealing.
Thanks!
