CRISPY SHRIMP BURGER

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, bell pepper, salt, and cayenne. Cook, stirring, until soft for about 6 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly. Add the garlic, green onions, 2 of the eggs, and 1 cup of the bread crumbs. Stir to mix well. Divide into 8 equal portions and form into patties. Put the flour in a shallow bowl and season with 1 teaspoon of the Creole seasoning. Put the remaining 1 cup bread crumbs in another shallow bowl and season with the remaining 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning. Put the beaten egg in yet another shallow bowl, add the water, and beat lightly. Heat the vegetable oil in 2 large skillets over medium heat. Dredge each patty first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, then in the bread crumbs, turning to coat completely and shaking off any excess. Cook 4 patties at a time in each skillet, until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. To serve, spread both sides of each toasted bun with some of the tartar sauce, place a patty on the bottom half of the bun, dress with lettuce and tomatoes, and top with the other bun half.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

CRISPY SHRIMP BURGERS WITH SMOKY AVOCADO MAYO

Steps:

• For the shrimp burgers: Pulse the butter crackers in a mini food processor until fine crumbs form; you should have about 1 cup. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside. Wipe out the mini food processor.
• Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly translucent, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to a plate and set aside to cool. Wipe out the skillet.
• Meanwhile, dice the shrimp into 1/4-inch pieces, then run your knife through half of the chopped shrimp once more. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the cracker crumbs. Stir in the cooled onion and celery mixture, dill, honey, mustard powder, seafood seasoning, egg, garlic, lemon zest and 3/4 teaspoon salt until the cracker crumbs fully absorb any moisture. Form the mixture into 4 patties, transfer to a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler to high or preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the buns on a baking sheet and broil or bake until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Line a plate with paper towels. Add the shrimp patties and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared plate.
• For the avocado mayo: Put the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, seafood seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, cayenne, avocado, garlic and lemon juice in a mini food processor. Blend until smooth and transfer to a small bowl. Stir in the scallions.
• Serve the shrimp burgers on the toasted buns with lettuce, tomato and the avocado mayo.
