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.

SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be moderately hot and rack about 4 inches from heat source.
• Combine garlic, chili, ginger and 1/3 of the shrimp in a food processor and purée, stopping machine to scrape down sides of container as necessary. Add remaining shrimp along with shallots, bell pepper, salt, pepper and cilantro, and pulse as many times as necessary to chop shrimp, but not too finely. Shape mixture into 4 patties. Chill for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Brush grill or patties lightly with oil and place them on grill. Cook undisturbed until a dark crust appears on bottom and they release fairly easily with a spatula, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes on the other side. Serve on buns or not, as you like, with ketchup or lime juice as a condiment.

SHRIMP BURGERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the sauce ingredients.
• Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon of Old Bay, and the minced scallion. Stir to blend and refrigerate until serving time.
• Gather the shrimp burger ingredients.
• In a food processor, puree half of the shrimp with the garlic. Transfer the pureed shrimp to a large bowl.
• To the food processor bowl, add the 3 chopped scallions, red bell pepper, 3/4 teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Pulse until the vegetables are finely chopped. Transfer the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the pureed shrimp.
• With a sharp knife, cut the remaining shrimp into 1/4-inch pieces. Add the chopped shrimp to the bowl with the pureed shrimp and chopped vegetables; mix until thoroughly blended. Shape the shrimp mixture into 4 patties and refrigerate for about 20 minutes, or until chilled.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp patties and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper; cook for about 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked.
• Assemble the shrimp patties on lettuce-lined buns with the sauce and other toppings, as desired.

SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, pulse the panko until finely ground, about 15 pulses. Transfer the panko to a shallow dish.
• In the now-empty bowl of the processor, combine 1 cup of the shrimp (about 1/3 of the total shrimp), mayonnaise, salt, and black and cayenne peppers. Pulse until the shrimp are finely chopped and combined with the mayonnaise, about 8 pulses, depending on the size of your shrimp.
• Add the remaining shrimp and pulse until coarsely but evenly chopped, 4 to 6 pulses, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.☞TESTER TIP: If you don't want to sacrifice the lovely consistency of shrimp in your burgers, consider instead chopping the remaining shrimp by hand rather than processing them. Then simply stir them into the pulsed shrimp mixture. Your burgers will retain a little more of that true shrimp-ness.
• Transfer the coarsely ground shrimp to a large bowl and stir in the scallions.
• Using lightly moistened hands, divvy the shrimp mixture into 4 equal portions. Gently shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch (18-mm) thick.
• Dredge each shrimp patty in the panko, turning to coat both sides and pressing lightly so the panko stays put. Transfer the shrimp patties to a large plate.
• Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in a little oil, just enough to slick the bottom of the skillet. Heat the oil until shimmering, about 2 minutes.☞TESTER TIP: If you prefer to save a little time and cook all the burgers at once rather than in batches, instead use 2 skillets at the same time. Of course, that's one more thing to clean. Choose your battle.
• Place the shrimp patties in the hot oil, being careful not to crowd the skillet. Cook, flipping once, until they're golden brown and register 140°F (60°C) on an instant read thermometer, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Transfer the shrimp burgers to a paper towel-lined plate. If you cooked the burgers in batches, it'll be necessary to add a little more oil to the skillet.
• Spread the tartar sauce evenly among the bun bottoms and then place the burgers and lettuce on top. Sandwich with the tops of the buns and serve pronto.

SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix all Tartar sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Place in fridge while you cook the patties.
• Process the panko by pulsing 15 times or blending 30 seconds to grind it to a coarse sand texture. Place panko into a shallow bowl, where you can dredge the shrimp patties before cooking them,
• Using a food processor or blender, take about 1/3 of the shrimp, the mayonnaise, and Old Bay seasoning. Blend into a paste by pulsing 8-10 times or processing about 15-20 seconds.
• To the paste, add the remaining shrimp. (If you don't have a food processor, then cut the peeled, deveined shrimp into 2-3 segments apiece and add to the paste and stir until well-mixed). Pulse the processor 3-5 times, scraping down the sides as needed. You should be able to clearly see segments of shrimp, but no whole shrimp. Remove the mixture to a separate bowl.
• Stir in the chopped scallions.
• Form the mixture into 4 equal sized balls, then press down on them to form round patties. I like to do it this way to ensure the patties are equal sized, because it's easier to make add/subtract from the balls of mixture than it is to the patties already formed. (If you're making ahead of time, place plastic wrap over the patties at this point and refrigerate up to 8 hours before cooking)
• Dredge the patties in the ground panko, removing to a separate board or plate prior to cooking.
• In a large, flat skillet, heat the oil over Medium heat. Once it shimmers, add the patties. Cook 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and insides are 140-145F. If you don't have a thermometer, cut the patties open and determine whether it is fully cooked. If you see areas of pink, this denotes the shrimp is cooked. You should see no translucent areas.
• Serve patties as is, or on buns (brioche!) with tartar sauce and leaf lettuce.

SOUTH CAROLINA SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• For the tartar sauce: In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup mayonnaise, pickles plus brine, shallot, capers and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Refrigerate until needed.
• For the burgers: Pulse breadcrumbs in food processor until finely ground, about 15 pulses; transfer to shallow dish.
• Place a third of shrimp (1 cup), 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/8 teaspoon salt and cayenne in now-empty processor and pulse until shrimp are finely chopped, about 8 pulses. Add remaining shrimp (2 cups) to shrimp mixture in processor and pulse until coarsely chopped, about 4 pulses, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Transfer shrimp mixture to bowl and stir in green onions.
• Divide shrimp mixture into 4 (3/4-inch-thick) patties (about 1/2 cup each). Working with 1 patty at a time, dredge both sides of patties in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere; transfer to plate.
• Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Place patties in skillet and cook until golden brown on first side, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip and continue to cook until shrimp registers 140 to 145 degrees and second side is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Transfer burgers to paper towel-lined plate and let drain, about 30 seconds per side. Spread tartar sauce on bun bottoms, then place burgers and lettuce on top. Cover with bun tops.

CRISPY SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• Take half the shrimp and coarsely chop it. Add it to a bowl. Take the other half and add it to a food processor with the garlic and cilantro. Pulse to create a chunky paste. Mix in with the chopped shrimp.
• Add the salt, paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, Panko breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix until just combine.
• Divide into patties.
• Heat a skillet over medium high heat with the vegetable oil. Add the burgers and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve on a roll as a burger, wrapped in lettuce, or as a burger bowl.

SHRIMP BURGERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Pat your shrimp dry with a couple layers of paper towels. Using a sharp knife, cut the shrimp into small chunks, just larger than 1/4-inch big. Place them into a medium-sized bowl. Alternately, you could pulse the shrimp in the bowl of a food processor until you have chunks, but I tend to like the larger chunks of shrimp in my burger. Add all of the remaining ingredients to the bowl, except the oil and buns. Use your hands or a large fork to thoroughly combine all of the ingredients. Set the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes; this will make it easier to form the patties. Prepare four large squares of wax (or parchment) paper that are slightly larger than your shrimp burger patty will be, by setting them on your work surface. After 10 minutes, divide the mixture into 4 equal parts. Even though it's not hard to divide the mixture in four, I like to use my 4-ounce scoop to get the mixture out of the bowl and divide it into portions. The scoop compacts the mixture pretty perfectly and allows for minimal handling and mess. Once you have your four portions, form them into thick patties. If you used a scoop, you just need to press down lightly on the top to flatten, and turn, smoothing the sides as you go. Transfer the squares of wax paper to a container with a lid that will fit in your fridge. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours. Preheat a grill or a grill pan to medium. Drizzle a thin layer of oil either directly onto the top of the patties, or into a small container that you can mop generously onto the grill grates or pan. Carefully lift up the shrimp burgers, paper and all, and flip over onto the prepared hot cooking surface; peel off the paper. Close the lid of the grill, or overturn a pan on top of the grill pan. Cook for 3-1/2 minutes. Lift the lid, oil the (now) top of the shrimp burger, and gently flip it. Cover again and cook for another 3-1/2 minutes, or until firm. Remove the burgers to a plate. Split the buns and place them cut side down onto the grill or grill pan to toast. The residual oil that is now flavored by the shrimp burgers should give the bun some nice, golden grill marks. Serve the shrimp burgers on the toasted buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, baby spinach, thinly sliced tomato and/or onion. I also like to mix up a mixture of mayonnaise, capers, and wholegrain mustard with a tiny shot of lemon juice to smear on the bun. You could also just serve it with a lemon wedge on the side.

SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• Finely grind 2 burger buns in a food processor (1 1/2 cups crumbs) and transfer to a bowl. Pulse shrimp in processor, then toss with crumbs, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 patties. Melt butter in a skillet and cook over medium, turning once, until cooked through, about 9 minutes. Serve on buns with lettuce and tartar sauce.

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.

SHRIMP BURGER

Steps:

• Saute the celery, carrots, onions, herbs, garlic, bay leaf, paprika and salt, pepper and sugar to taste (this is called a sofrito) in a medium saute pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool until ready to use.
• Pulse the shrimp in a food processor, leaving some larger shrimp pieces. Mix with the sofrito and sprinkle with salt.
• Form the shrimp mixture into 4 to 6 burger patties. Sprinkle both sides of the burgers with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large saute pan with the butter over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Pull the burgers from the pan and toast the buns in the butter (you may need to add a little more butter at this step, depending on how much is left in the pan).
• To serve, top the burger with Aioli and Cabbage-Apple Slaw.
• Place the egg yolks, lemon juice and hot sauce in a food processor and pulse to combine.
• While the food processor is running, slowly add the oil to form an emulsion. Once the egg yolks and oil have emulsified, thin out with water (about 1/4 cup) and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the herbs. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Mix together the cabbage and apples in a large bowl and season with salt.
• Combine the lemon juice, olive oil and thyme in a small bowl. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Mix the slaw with the dressing.

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.

SHRIMP BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high (about 375 degrees F). In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, add 2/3 of the shrimp.
• Add the garlic, paprika, mustard, salt, seafood seasoning, and cayenne. Pulse a few times to begin to incorporate. Add 1/2 of the green onion and 1/2 of the bell pepper. Puree until fairly smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Finely chop the remaining shrimp, bell pepper, and green onion (you want the shrimp to bind with the burgers but still be a little chunky so that the burgers have texture). Add to the bowl and stir until evenly combined.
• Shape mixture into 6 patties that are about ¾-inch thick and 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter. Place in the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes.
• Make sure your grill is very clean. Brush the outsides of the shrimp patties with oil. Place on the grill (clean it one more time for good measure-any debris can make the patties stick), close the lid, then cook on the first side without disturbing for 4 to 5 minutes, until the patties release easily. Flip and cook on the other side until the patties are cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes more.
• If desired, in the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns on the grill, cut side down, and lightly toast.
• Serve the shrimp burgers on the toasted buns, topped with Greek yogurt, mustard, lettuce, tomato, and avocado as desired. Enjoy!
