Back in the 70's, a dear friend of mine who happens to be of Dutch
descent, made something for me called "Beehoon". I have no idea if the
spelling is correct or not, but they were fabulous. What she did, and
what I do now when I want to make them, is to peel about a third of a
pound of shrimp. Then take the shells and boil with a quart of water
with some onion peels, celery parts and carrot parts. Add a couple bay
leaves and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain. Take two cups and bring to a
boil in another saucepan and add a cup of quinoa. Stir, put a lid on
it and turn to low. After ten minutes, turn off the heat. Pour the
rest into the first saucepan and add two tablespoons oyster sauce, then a
half a tablespoon of arrowroot or tapioca flour mixed in a shot of
white wine or water. Cook until thick. Reduce to simmer. Take a
quarter of a cabbage and rough chop it. Put it into a food processor
with some herbs, onions, and buzz until well chopped. Then add three
eggs and mix well. Then add the shrimp and buzz just until roughly
chopped. On a hot griddle or in a good stainless pan oiled with a bit
of olive oil, spoon some of the mixture out into mounds. Flatten a bit
and allow to brown well on the bottom. Turn over and brown the other
side. Repeat with all the mixture. Serve with the quinoa and the
sauce. These are low salt, unbelivably flavorful and HEALTHY!
