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!

Steps:
- Parsley Mayonnaise: In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Refrigerate.
- Cajun Shrimp: In a large nonstick skillet over high heat, brown the shrimp in half the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, brown the pepper and shallot in the remaining oil. Return the shrimp to the skillet. Add the garlic and spices. Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Deglaze with the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Adjust the seasoning. Set aside.
- Toast the buns. Spread the inside of the buns with the parsley mayonnaise. Place the Cajun Shrimp on the buns. Garnish with tomatoes and lettuce. Cover and serve.
Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If frozen shrimp is all you have, thaw it properly before using.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality bun: The bun is an important part of any burger, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a bun that is soft and fluffy, with a slightly crispy crust.
- Load it up with toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for a Cajun shrimp burger. Some popular choices include lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and cheese. You could also try adding some Cajun-spiced mayonnaise or remoulade sauce.
- Serve it with your favorite sides: Cajun shrimp burgers are a delicious meal on their own, but they can also be served with a variety of sides. Some popular choices include fries, onion rings, coleslaw, and potato salad.
Conclusion:
The Cajun shrimp burger is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy shrimp patty, flavorful Cajun spices, and soft and fluffy bun, this burger is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new burger recipe, give the Cajun shrimp burger a try. You won't be disappointed!
