Crispy Shrimp Burgers With Smoky Avocado Mayo Recipes

CRISPY SHRIMP BURGERS WITH SMOKY AVOCADO MAYO

Steps:

• For the shrimp burgers: Pulse the butter crackers in a mini food processor until fine crumbs form; you should have about 1 cup. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside. Wipe out the mini food processor.
• Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly translucent, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to a plate and set aside to cool. Wipe out the skillet.
• Meanwhile, dice the shrimp into 1/4-inch pieces, then run your knife through half of the chopped shrimp once more. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the cracker crumbs. Stir in the cooled onion and celery mixture, dill, honey, mustard powder, seafood seasoning, egg, garlic, lemon zest and 3/4 teaspoon salt until the cracker crumbs fully absorb any moisture. Form the mixture into 4 patties, transfer to a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler to high or preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the buns on a baking sheet and broil or bake until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Line a plate with paper towels. Add the shrimp patties and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared plate.
• For the avocado mayo: Put the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, seafood seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, cayenne, avocado, garlic and lemon juice in a mini food processor. Blend until smooth and transfer to a small bowl. Stir in the scallions.
• Serve the shrimp burgers on the toasted buns with lettuce, tomato and the avocado mayo.

SARASOTA'S SHRIMP BURGERS, AVOCADO AND A CHILI LIME MAYO

Steps:

• Now you can get boiled salad shrimp (the baby shrimp) or you can buy precooked any size you want. Just remember -- 1 lb. I have used large and chopped, small and not chopped and medium and chopped a little. So don't worry about the size. Besides, I love to buy it pre cooked for this, easier and quicker. This should be something quick so I try to take advantage of precooked shrimp when I can. Most stores do have some descent cooked shrimp these days. Even frozen precooked shrimp once thawed and drained well and dried will work just fine. Don't worry.
• In a large bowl, -- Mix -- the chopped shrimp, scallions, pepper, lemon zest, shallot, celery, mayonnaise, seasoning, egg, parsley, and bread crumbs. Toss lightly. Don't over mix.
• Patties -- Make the patties -- just form a medium size patty and then dredge lightly in the bread crumbs or panko. Pan saute on medium heat in a non stick skillet in the oil until golden brown. It will take 3-4 minutes per side is all until done.
• TIP: I like to freeze the patties for a 15 minutes before sauteing. This just help firm them up a bit and helps with the frying.
• Grill your burger buns -- prepare the toppings, the tomatoes, lettuce and onions and make your chili sauce. Just mix the mayo and chili sauce together for an amazing spread.
• Serve dinner -- Serve each bun with a slather of the chili mayo, then lettuce, the burger, then tomato and avocado, onion, more lettuce, and top it with the bun also slathered again with the chili mayo. It is perfect.
