Ingredients
Shrimp Burgers:
- 1 lb raw shrimp shelled & tails removed
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup celery chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onions diced
- 1 1/4 teaspoon old bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
Cilantro Lime Crema:
- 1/4 cup sour cream regular or dairy-free
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- zest of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper
Other Toppings:
- hamburger buns of your choice
- butter lettuce
- avocado sliced
- red onion sliced
- corn kernels
- fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat grill to medium-high heat and ensure grill grates are very clean. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Burger Mixture: Combine 1/2 of the shrimp, egg, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, celery, green onion, old bay seasoning, lemon juice, kosher salt, ground black pepper and breadcrumbs into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a paste; don't over-blend. Add in remaining shrimp and pulse once or twice so that there are large chunks of shrimp in the paste.
- Burger Patties: Divide mixture into 3 equal portions. Add a little oil to your hands and form the portions into 3 burger patties. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Press down in the middle of the burger with your thumb to create an indent. Place baking sheet of patties in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
- Make Crema: Combine the Cilantro Lime Crema ingredients in a small bowl; stir to combine and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Grill: Remove burgers from freezer. Spray clean grill grates with olive oil or your choice of non-stick cooking spray. Place burgers over direct heat directly on the grill grates. Cook 3-4 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove and let rest 5 minutes.
- Build Burgers + Serve: layer bottom bun, butter lettuce, cilantro lime crema, burger, onion, avocado and corn - add top bun and enjoy!
Notes
- Gluten-Free: use gluten-free breadcrumbs and a gluten-free bun.
- Dairy-Free: simply use dairy-free sour cream in the cilantro lime crema.
- Storage: store leftover, cooked burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: easily freeze the raw shrimp burger buns by placing a small piece of parchment between them and placing them in a freezer-safe container/bag. Use within 3 months.
- Nutrition info does not include the optional toppings.
