AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN'S SHRIMP BURGER

I watched a video of these shrimp burgers on Tube and thought they sounded great. I'm going to make these for dinner today with red cabbage coleslaw. I'll cook the burgers on a charcoal grill but pan frying would be tasty too.

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 slice fresh white bread
1 1/2 lb fresh shrimp
1/4 c mayonnaise
2 scallions,sliced thin
2 t minced fresh parsley
2 t. lemon zest
1/8 t salt
1/8 t. pepper
pinch of cayenne
2 t. canola oil or butter
SAUCE:
1/2 c mayo
1/2 c sour cream
1 t. cilantro,minced
2 t. siracha sauce (atk used a chipolte sauce)
2 t. lime juice
1/2 t. salt
1 garlic clove,minced

Steps:

  • 1. Pulse the bread in a food processor to coarse crumbs, about 4 pulses, and transfer to a bowl (you should have about 3/4 cup crumbs). Wipe the food processor clean, and pulse the shrimp until there is an even mix of finely minced and coarsely chopped pieces, about 7 pulses. Whisk the mayonnaise, scallions, parsley, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and cayenne together in a large bowl until uniform. Gently fold into the processed shrimp and breadcrumbs until just combined. Scrape the shrimp mixture onto a small baking sheet, divide it into 4 equal portions, and loosely pack each into a 1inch-thick patty. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Brush burgers with oil on both sides.Grill 5-7 minutes on each side on medium heat of gas grill.
  • 2. Note: I saw on another site,these burgers were cooked in in a 12inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat using 1-2 t.vegetable oil until shimmering. Gently lay the shrimp burgers in the skillet and cook until crisp and browned on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • 3. Sauce:Combine all ingredients together.Stir until well mixed.

Note: If buying shell-on shrimp, get about 1 1/2 pounds. Panko breadcrumbs are larger and lighter than traditional breadcrumbs, which could be substituted. From "Cook's Country Eats Local," by America's Test Kitchen.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles, plus 1 tsp. brine
1 small shallot, minced
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped fine
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 1/4 lbs large shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed (26-30 count per pound and divided)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 green onions, chopped fine
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 hamburger buns
4 leaves bibb lettuce

Steps:

  • For the tartar sauce: In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup mayonnaise, pickles plus brine, shallot, capers and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Refrigerate until needed.
  • For the burgers: Pulse breadcrumbs in food processor until finely ground, about 15 pulses; transfer to shallow dish.
  • Place a third of shrimp (1 cup), 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/8 teaspoon salt and cayenne in now-empty processor and pulse until shrimp are finely chopped, about 8 pulses. Add remaining shrimp (2 cups) to shrimp mixture in processor and pulse until coarsely chopped, about 4 pulses, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Transfer shrimp mixture to bowl and stir in green onions.
  • Divide shrimp mixture into 4 (3/4-inch-thick) patties (about 1/2 cup each). Working with 1 patty at a time, dredge both sides of patties in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere; transfer to plate.
  • Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Place patties in skillet and cook until golden brown on first side, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip and continue to cook until shrimp registers 140 to 145 degrees and second side is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Transfer burgers to paper towel-lined plate and let drain, about 30 seconds per side. Spread tartar sauce on bun bottoms, then place burgers and lettuce on top. Cover with bun tops.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will give your burgers the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will also work, but be sure to thaw them completely before using them.
  • Chop the shrimp finely. This will help the burgers to hold together better. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to chop the shrimp.
  • Add some bread crumbs to the shrimp mixture. This will help to absorb moisture and make the burgers easier to form.
  • Season the shrimp mixture well. Be sure to use plenty of salt and pepper, as well as your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Form the shrimp mixture into patties. Be sure to pack the patties firmly so that they don't fall apart when you cook them.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve the burgers on your favorite bun. You can also top the burgers with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and onion.

Conclusion:

Shrimp burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They're packed with protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and they're also lower in calories and saturated fat. Plus, they're easy to make and can be cooked in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp burgers a try.
