you should not be able to see very much bread crumbs, but if you think you don't have enough put 1/4 cup more into it.

Shape into patties, to help hold shape put on cookie sheet and freeze for about 20-30 minute Believe me this works wonders, also helps for stuffed shrimp too, if you wanna pull out some shrimp and stuff em just butterfly em, put on the cookie sheet and freeze, then batter em and fry em after freezing.

Melt butter. put enough oil in skillet to help cover bottom of pan (oil is so butter won't burn).
