Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 pieces green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices
- optional condiments (e.g., tartar sauce, mayo, or sriracha)
Instructions
Place 3/4 of the shrimp into a food processor and pulse until a chunky paste forms. Be careful not to over-blend; you want some texture.
Chop the remaining shrimp into small pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the shrimp paste to the mixing bowl along with the panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, green onions, parsley, garlic, Old Bay seasoning, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together until well combined, but do not overwork the mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to help them firm up.
Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Cook the shrimp patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid flipping them too early or too often to maintain their shape.
To assemble the burgers, toast the buns lightly if desired. Place a shrimp patty on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice.
Add optional condiments like tartar sauce, mayonnaise, or sriracha if desired, then place the top bun to finish the burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade shrimp burgers!
