Fit the Cuisinart® Griddler® Combo with one grill plate and one griddle plate. Preheat the griddle side to low and leave the grill side off. Toss the onion, garlic and peppers in the olive oil. Arrange them on the griddle plate preheated to low; sauté until softened, about 6 to 8 minutes. While vegetables are sautéing, toss the shrimp with the lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Reserve. Combine the sautéed vegetables together in a large bowl with the drained beans, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, cumin, egg white and lime juice. Mash ingredients together until mixture is homogeneous. Form the black bean mixture into ⅓-cup round cakes. Preheat the grill side to high; the griddle side should be turned up to high as well. Once the grill is preheated, brush the griddle side with the butter. Place three of the cakes on the preheated griddle, cooking 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until well browned. Repeat with remaining cakes. When the second batch of the black bean cakes has been placed on the griddle, place the shrimp on the hot grill plate. Grill, in two batches, 1½ to 2 minutes per side, or until shells are pink and shrimp are opaque. Place one shrimp on top of each black bean cake and serve with sour cream, salsa and chopped cilantro.
