A Great Seafood Burger 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.

SEAFOOD BURGERS

Steps:

• Grind shrimp into a paste in a food processor; transfer to a bowl, using a spatula.
• Add the crabmeat to the bowl, breaking it up and flaking it as you add it.
• Add in celery, scallions, red bell peppers, garlic, parsley, Old Bay, cayenne, chili powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper; stir mixture to combine.
• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat; add in olive oil.
• Using a large metal scoop or spoon, scoop 4 mounds of seafood mixture into the pan.
• Gently pat down to form patties and fry 3-5 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turns whitish pink and the patties are evenly golden.
• Split and toast the English muffins; butter the muffin bottoms.
• Place burgers on muffin bottoms and squeeze lemon juice over them, then top with lettuce.
• Slather the top of the muffins with cocktail sauce and set in place; serve.

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.
