Grilled Seafood Burgers With Old Bay Mayonnaise Recipes

SHRIMP BURGERS WITH OLD BAY MAYO

Steps:

• For the shrimp burgers: Coarsely chop half of the shrimp. Put the remaining shrimp in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Combine both shrimp in a large bowl with the breadcrumbs, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, pepper, scallions and egg and mix. Refrigerate for 10 minutes, and then form into 4 patties. Refrigerate 10 more minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers, about 3 minutes per side.
• For the Old Bay mayo: Combine the mayonnaise and Old Bay to taste in a small bowl.
• To serve, spread the buns with the mayo and place the burgers on the buns. Top the burgers with the avocado slices, lettuce leaves and tomato slices.

GRILLED CRAB BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix crabmeat, 1 cup breadcrumbs, green onions, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and Old Bay seasoning in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in egg yolk. Form mixture into four 2 1/2-inch-diameter patties. Place remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs in shallow bowl. Dip patties into crumbs, coating completely. Mix remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise with mustard in small bowl to blend.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Brush barbecue rack with oil. Grill burgers until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Grill bread slices until lightly toasted, about 1 minute per side. Spread toasts with mustard dressing. Top each with a burger.

GRILLED SEAFOOD BURGERS WITH OLD BAY MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium and oil the grates.
• In a food processor, pulse the shrimp a few times just until finely chopped and a coarse paste forms. Transfer to a large bowl and add the cod, 1/4 cup of the scallions, the salt and pepper, and mix until well blended. (Hands work best.) Moisten your hands with water, then form the mixture into 4 (½-inch-thick) patties. Coat patties lightly with the oil.
• Grill the burgers until lightly charred and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Resist the temptation to prod or flip the burgers unnecessarily. They will release easily once they are cooked on each side.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Old Bay and the remaining 2 tablespoons scallions; mix well.
• Smear some of the Old Bay mayonnaise on the buns. Top each bottom bun with a burger and squeeze lemon on top. Top with some of the lettuce and pickles, close the burgers and enjoy.
