Shrimp Burgers
Ingredients
1 ¼ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
Hamburger buns
¼ onion
Juice of ½ a lemon (save the other half for tarter sauce)
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ tsp Old Bay Seasoning (or more to taste)
5 Tbsp butter
For serving: tomato slices, onion slice, lettuce or arugula and tarter sauce (recipe follows)
Directions
Pulse on hamburger bun in the food processor to make fine crumbs.
Place in a mixing bowl.
Add onion to processor and chop finely. Add to breadcrumbs.
Add shrimp and pulse to a rough chop. You do not want shrimp paste! (You can do this by hand)
Mix shrimp, breadcrumbs, onion, lemon juice, mayonnaise, and Old Bay.
Form into patties about ½ inch thick.
If you have time, let them rest in the fridge for ½ an hour.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium high heat.
Preheat oven to broil.
Brush a little butter on each side of hamburger buns, place on a cookie sheet and lightly toast under the broiler.
Sauté shrimp burgers in remaining butter until nicely browned and crisp about 3 minutes a side.
Serve immediately.
Tarter sauce: Mix ½ cup mayonnaise with 2 Tbsp pickle relish and remaining lemon juice.
