Ingredients

2 pounds raw Fremont Fish Market Argentine Red Shrimp peel off (tail removed, deveined, divided)
3 cloves garlic (peeled)
1 tablespoon ground paprika
1 tablespoon Burman's Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 green onions (roughly chopped, divided)
1 small red bell pepper (roughly chopped, divided)
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
Canola oil (for grilling)
Specially Selected Brioche Buns
Friendly Farms Plain Nonfat Greek yogurt
Burman's Dijon mustard
Sliced tomato
Lettuce
Sliced avocado

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!

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

60 ml mayonnaise
60 ml parsley, chopped
5 ml green Tabasco jalapeno sauce
675 g raw shrimp, shelled, deveined and patted dry
60 ml olive oil
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
10 ml chili powder
5 ml paprika
2 1/2 ml dry mustard
30 ml lemon juice
5 ml Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
4 large hamburger buns with sesame seeds
4 boston lettuce leaves
1 tomatoes, thinly sliced

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!
