Ingredients

Shrimp Patty Ingredients

  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Burger Assembly

  • 4 burger buns
  • 4 leaves romaine lettuce
  • 4 slices tomato

Zesty Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Chop the shrimp finely or pulse in a food processor until coarse but not pureed, creating a texture that binds well for the patties.
  2. Make the Shrimp Patty Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, minced garlic, parsley, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
  3. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a 4-inch wide, 1/2-inch thick patty. Place the patties on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
  4. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the Shrimp Patties: Grill the shrimp patties for about 3-4 minutes per side until they are opaque and cooked through, with a nice golden sear on the outside. Be careful when flipping as shrimp patties can be delicate.
  6. Toast the Buns: While the patties are grilling, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
  7. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
  8. Assemble the Burgers: Spread a generous amount of the zesty sauce on the bottom bun, add a leaf of romaine lettuce, place the grilled shrimp patty on top, add a slice of tomato, then spread sauce on the top bun before closing the burger.
  9. Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like sweet potato fries or a green salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed rice crackers.
  • Keep the patties well chilled before grilling to help maintain their shape.
  • You can add diced onions or bell peppers to the shrimp mixture for extra texture and flavor.
  • Serve with lettuce wraps instead of buns for a low-carb option.
  • Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or grill.
