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

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.

SOUTHERN SHRIMP BURGERS

Dry the shrimp thoroughly before processing, or the burgers will be mushy. Handle the burgers gently when shaping and grilling; if overhandled while being shaped, the burgers will be dense and rubbery, and if handled roughly during cooking, they will break apart. ATK

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 slice hearty white bread, torn into large pieces
1 1/2 lbs raw extra-large shrimp, peeled, deveined and patted dry (21 to 25 per pound)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 scallions, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons canola oil (for brushing)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon cilantro, minced
2 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • Pulse bread in food processor to coarse crumbs, about 10 pulses. Transfer to bowl and set aside.
  • Pulse shrimp in now-empty processor until some pieces are finely minced and others are coarsely chopped, about 7 pulses. Transfer shrimp to large bowl.
  • Combine mayonnaise, scallions, parsley, lemon zest, cayenne, salt and pepper in large bowl until uniform, then gently fold into processed shrimp until just combined. Sprinkle bread crumbs over mixture and gently fold until incorporated.

Transfer burgers to platter, tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN'S SHRIMP BURGER



America's Test Kitchen's Shrimp Burger image

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.

Categories     Sandwiches

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.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients ahead of time: Chop your vegetables, measure out your spices, and cook your rice before you start assembling the burgers. This will make the process much quicker and easier.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your burgers will taste. Look for fresh shrimp, crisp vegetables, and flavorful spices.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Season the shrimp patties well: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. You can use a simple salt and pepper combination, or add in some garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Make sure the burgers are cooked through: Before serving, check that the burgers are cooked through. The shrimp should be opaque and pink, and the burgers should be firm to the touch.

Conclusion:

Southern shrimp burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They're perfect for a summer cookout or a casual weeknight meal. The combination of shrimp, rice, and vegetables makes them a healthy and satisfying choice. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy shrimp, give these southern shrimp burgers a try!
