Mexican Shrimp Burgers Recipes

SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• Roughly chop 3 or 4 shrimp and place in a bowl. Pulse remaining shrimp in a food processor and transfer to the bowl with the chopped shrimp.
• Combine egg, bread crumbs, lemon juice, lemon zest, seafood seasoning, and black pepper in a bowl. Add shrimp and butter. Form mixture into 3 patties and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until second side is browned, 4 to 5 minutes more.

MEXICAN CHORIZO AND GARLIC SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• To prepare the chorizo patties: Mix all the ingredients together until evenly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Note: Can make this the day before.
• To prepare the garlic shrimp: After peeling, deveining and rinsing the shrimp, dry them really well on a clean towel or paper toweling. Mix evenly with the remaining shrimp ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 min to 1 hour.
• To prepare the paprika mayo: Mix all the ingredients together until even. Set aside.
• To make the burger: Divide the chorizo-mixture into 4 equal portions, then shape into patties slightly larger than the buns.
• Heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling hot, then add the butter until melted. To the pan add the chorizo patties (maximum 2 patties at a time). Leave the patties to pan-fry without moving, until a nicely browned crust has formed on the bottom. Turn the patties over, then add the shredded manchego cheese on top (2-3 tablespoons on each).
• Cover the skillet completely with a lid and keep cooking on medium-high heat for another 1-2 min (the steam will melt the cheese as well as cook the patties), just until the center of the patties is cooked through. Transfer the patties onto a plate and let rest.
• Keep the chorizo drippings in the skillet and cook the shrimp on high-heat, about 1 min on each side until just cooked through. Set aside.
• If you want to toast the buns, remove any food-solids inside the skillet with a bit of oil left, then toast the cut-sides of the buns until golden browned in the same skillet.
• Apply a generous layer of paprika mayonnaise on both sides of the buns, then put 2 thinly sliced tomatoes and a chorizo patty on top. Slice the shrimp lengthwise and place over the patty. Top with upper bun.

MEXICAN SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• For the Mexican shrimp burgers: Measure out 3/4 cup of the shrimp and set aside. Add the remaining shrimp to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Add the cilantro and eggs and pulse until the mixture is combined but not completely smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Roughly chop the reserved shrimp into small pieces, then add it to the mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, chipotle adobo sauce, lime juice, salt, pepper and garlic and mix to blend the ingredients. Use a 1/2-cup measure to scoop and shape the shrimp mixture into 4 burgers. They will be sticky. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• For the avocado aioli: Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic, avocado and some salt and pepper to a food processor and blend until smooth.
• Coat the bottom of a large saute pan with the oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once it's very hot, saute the shrimp burgers until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. They should be golden brown.
• Add about 1 tablespoon of the avocado aioli to each half of the toasted buns. Add a burger to each, followed by a couple of tomato slices and a piece of lettuce. Close the burgers and enjoy!

SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• Place half of the shrimp in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Roughly chop the other half of the shrimp into small pieces no bigger than the size of a pea. Place all of the shrimp in a bowl along with the almond flour, egg, finely diced onion, chopped parsley, lemon juice/zest, salt and pepper and stir until well combined.
• Form the batter into balls the size of a small fist and flatten slightly. Place the patties on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and transfer the the fridge for 1 hour or freezer for 15 minutes to help the patties firm up.
• While the patties are resting, in a bowl whisk together the parsley, garlic, lemon juice and mayonnaise. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4 minutes per side until golden in colour. To keep the patties from falling apart when cooking, make sure the pan is hot before adding them in, and leave them to cook for 4 minutes without touching so that a golden crust forms before flipping over.
• To assemble the burgers spread the sauce on the inside of the lettuce. Top with 2 slices of tomato, sliced pickles and red onion. Add the shrimp patty on top, place the other half of the lettuce leaf on top like a sandwich and wrap the burger in parchment paper to make it easier to eat.

MEXICAN SHRIMP "BURGERS"

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the shrimp, egg, cilantro, garlic, 3/4 cup bread crumbs, poblano chile, salt, and pepper. Process until the mixture is a coarse puree. Form the mixture into 6 patties and set aside (if the mixture is too wet, add additional bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture can be molded easily).
• Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush the patties with vegetable oil and grill until golden, about 3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness.
• Scoop the avocado pulp into the bowl of a food processor. Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic cloves, serrano chile and cilantro. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Serve the shrimp burgers on buns, topped with a dollop of avocado aioli, sliced tomato, and lettuce.
