Equipment
Ingredients
Shrimp burger:
- 1½ pounds raw shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon parsley chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoon olive oil for pan frying
Jalapeño Lime Slaw:
- ½ cup greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2-3 small cloves garlic to preference
- ½ cup loosely packed cilantro or parsley
- 3-4 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 - 1½ jalapeño seeded and roughly chopped
- ½ large cabbage shredded
Instructions
- CHOP: Place shrimp on a cutting board and chop it up into ½-inch pieces or smaller. You can also just pulse it in the food processor a few times but be sure you don't turn the shrimp into a paste.
- COMBINE: In a medium bowl combine burger ingredients before adding shrimp. Add shrimp and mix until just combined. Divide mixture into 4 patties, about ½-inch in thickness.
- SLAW DRESSING: Place all the ingredients for the slaw (except cabbage) with ½ teaspoon of salt and start with 3 tablespoons of lime juice into a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust salt and lime juice to preference.
- COOK: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the patties but do not overcrowd the pan, cooking two at a time. Pan fry shrimp burgers for 5-7 minutes, flipping around the halfway mark until opaque and no longer raw in the center. Place on a paper towel-lined plate and cook the remaining patties the same way.
- SLAW: Toss half of the dressing with the cabbage and adjust with more dressing or kosher salt to taste.
- SERVE: Serve shrimp burger over a bed of prepared slaw or on brioche buns with slaw on top. Add a dollop of sour cream if you'd like!
Notes
- Frozen shrimp works, just be sure to defrost and squeeze out all the water before chopping.
- This makes just enough dressing for 4 servings. Just double the slaw ingredients if you'd like to have larger portions or leftovers! Leftover dressing can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- You can play with this tons! Sometimes I'll add a little lemon zest into the burgers (along with the other ingredients) other times its cayenne, dried basil, lemon pepper seasoning, Italian seasoning, or chipotle chili powder! Feel free to make it your own!
