You can make a burger out of any protein, but there\u2019s something about shrimp that delivers superior flavor and texture. You get a juicy burger that stays intact with exceptional shrimpy sweetness by pur\u00e9eing half the shrimp into a binding paste and leaving the rest chunky.<\/p>\n
Cooks on a budget will appreciate how this recipe stretches its star ingredient. Shrimp can be expensive, but you get four generous burgers from just one pound of shrimp, making it a great way to make the most of a pricey ingredient.<\/p>\n
Place half the shrimp in a food processor and process until the mixture is smooth and paste-like. Add the remaining shrimp, bread crumbs, egg, green onions, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is combined and the largest pieces of shrimp are 1\/4 inch.<\/p>\n Shape the mixture into four patties and refrigerate for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/i> Slightly wet your hands with water before handling the mixture to avoid sticking.<\/p>\n Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet and cook the patties until golden brown on each side.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon zest, and seafood seasoning.<\/p>\n Spread the mayo over the cut sides of the buns. Place the patties on the bottom buns, and the lettuce, tomato, and onion on the top buns.<\/p>\n Refrigerate your leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.<\/p>\n To freeze, layer the shrimp patties between sheets of wax paper and freeze them raw or cooked. They are best thawed and eaten within three months.<\/p>\n The patties can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container.<\/p>\n For side dishes, you can\u2019t go wrong with cookout side-dish classics like homemade french fries, creamy coleslaw, potato chips, hushpuppies, corn on the cob, potato salad, or garden salad.<\/p>\n Yes! Almost all shrimp you find in supermarkets is previously frozen, even if it isn’t frozen when you purchase it. To thaw frozen shrimp, place it in a bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes, swapping out the water once or twice. You can also defrost it overnight in the fridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These quick and easy burgers are made in a food processor with cilantro, garlic, and paprika for a
