The Original Shrimp Burger Recipes

SHRIMP BURGER

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.
