4 Egg Whites 1T Lemon Juice 2 t Ground Cumin 2t Salt
¼ t Ground Black Pepper 5ft Hog Casings

2. Put the seafood, jalapenos and cilantro through a coarse blade of a meat grinder.
3. Combine the ground seafood with the egg whites, lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
4. Rinse the hog casing in cold water by letting the water run from the tap directly through it.
5. Gather the casing up onto the sauce stuffing funnel attachment on your meat grinder.
6. Put the seafood mixture back in the grinder and begin to grind it through. When it begins to emerge from the funnel, tie the end of the casing in a knot, leaving 3 inches of it unfilled for expansion room.
7. Grind the mixture out, taking care not to overstuff the length of sausage; it should be about 1 inch wide. If necessary, squeeze it gently with your hands to make this width as you work. Continue with the entire length; you will have about 4 feet of sausage.
8. Remove the funnel and use your finger to press out the last remaining seafood mixture. Leave 3 inches for expansion and tie the end in a knot. Shape to make it even. Coil it into a spiral and set it aside.
9. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large heavy skillet with a lid. Reduce the heat so that the water barely quivers.
