Shrimp Burger Recipes

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!

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.

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

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 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.
