Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 stalk celery, small-diced
1/2 carrot, small-diced
1/4 yellow onion, small-diced
1 teaspoon each parsley, dill, tarragon and chives, cut into chiffonade
2 small cloves garlic, minced
1 fresh bay leaf
1 tablespoon Spanish paprika
Salt and ground black pepper
Sugar, as needed
1 to 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled
4 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed
4 to 6 burger buns
Aioli, recipe follows
Cabbage-Apple Slaw, recipe follows
5 egg yolks
3/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup hot sauce
8 cups blended oil
Salt and ground black pepper
1 cup marigold or tarragon, chopped
1/2 head cabbage, shredded (3 to 4 cups)
2 apples, cut into julienne
Salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon thyme leaves, chopped
Ground black pepper
Sugar, as needed

Steps:

  • Saute the celery, carrots, onions, herbs, garlic, bay leaf, paprika and salt, pepper and sugar to taste (this is called a sofrito) in a medium saute pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool until ready to use.
  • Pulse the shrimp in a food processor, leaving some larger shrimp pieces. Mix with the sofrito and sprinkle with salt.
  • Form the shrimp mixture into 4 to 6 burger patties. Sprinkle both sides of the burgers with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large saute pan with the butter over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Pull the burgers from the pan and toast the buns in the butter (you may need to add a little more butter at this step, depending on how much is left in the pan).
  • To serve, top the burger with Aioli and Cabbage-Apple Slaw.
  • Place the egg yolks, lemon juice and hot sauce in a food processor and pulse to combine.
  • While the food processor is running, slowly add the oil to form an emulsion. Once the egg yolks and oil have emulsified, thin out with water (about 1/4 cup) and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the herbs. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Mix together the cabbage and apples in a large bowl and season with salt.
  • Combine the lemon juice, olive oil and thyme in a small bowl. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Mix the slaw with the dressing.

SHRIMP BURGERS



Shrimp Burgers image

You can make a burger out of anything, as most home cooks know; the challenge is in choosing a central element that delivers superior flavor and texture. Shrimp, like scallops, contain a high amount of natural gelatin, which allows you to incorporate a considerable amount of flavorings without worrying about the burger falling apart. If you purée just a portion of the shrimp, leaving the rest - along with the flavorings - just roughly chopped, you produce a good-textured burger with powerful flavor. Feel free to vary the heat, reducing or increasing the amount of chile. And as with any burgers, these can be seasoned pretty much according to your whim. No grill? Go ahead and pan-fry these burgers with a little bit of oil over medium-high heat.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large clove garlic, peeled
1 dried or fresh chile, stemmed, seeded and deveined, or more to taste
1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 1/2 pounds peeled shrimp, deveined if you like
1/4 cup roughly chopped shallots, scallions or red onion
1/4 cup roughly chopped red or yellow bell pepper, optional
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, or to taste
Neutral oil, like corn or canola, as needed
Toasted buns, optional
Lime wedges or ketchup for serving

Steps:

  • Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be moderately hot and rack about 4 inches from heat source.
  • Combine garlic, chili, ginger and 1/3 of the shrimp in a food processor and purée, stopping machine to scrape down sides of container as necessary. Add remaining shrimp along with shallots, bell pepper, salt, pepper and cilantro, and pulse as many times as necessary to chop shrimp, but not too finely. Shape mixture into 4 patties. Chill for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Brush grill or patties lightly with oil and place them on grill. Cook undisturbed until a dark crust appears on bottom and they release fairly easily with a spatula, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes on the other side. Serve on buns or not, as you like, with ketchup or lime juice as a condiment.

SHRIMP BURGER



Shrimp Burger image

This shrimp burger recipe has a perfect texture with no binding. Add Southern or Cajun spices for a fresh, healthy change to summer grilling!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

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!

SHRIMP BURGERS

A shrimp burger is simply a cake of shrimp and seasonings served on a bun, with lettuce, tomato and tartar sauce. These concentrate the sweet essence of shellfish and complement it with semisweet seasonings like parsley, onion and celery. They are easy to prepare, and they bring the warmth of a summer beach picnic indoors.
