Goodness gracious – you have not lived until you have had a Grilled Shrimp Burger! Sweet shrimp flavor mixed with the char from the grill makes for a such a tasty bite!

The key to a great Shrimp Burger is only adding seasonings that complement the the delicious shrimp flavor, without overpowering it.  This seasonings in this recipe were kept simple: only minced scallions, parsley, lemon zest and good mayo.

This burger is a great healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers, and oh so delicious! Great topped with aioli and/or sliced avocado!  It’s a burger you can feel good about!

Shrimp makes a lighter burger option that is bursting with sweet shrimp flavor and fresh flavors!

By:

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs. XL shrimp - peeled, deveined & patted dry
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 scallions or green onions - minced
  • 2 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1 slice hearty sandwich bread - crusts removed, torn into large pieces
  • 4 Buns of your choice - (brioche is our preference)
Directions
  • Step 1 Pulse sandwich bread in food processor just until forms coarse crumbs – set aside.
  • Step 2 Add shrimp to food processor – until mostly finely minced – about 7-8 pulses. Transfer to large bowl.
  • Step 3 Combine mayo, scallions, parsley, lemon zest, cayenne, salt & pepper in a separate bowl – then fold in processed shrimp until just combined. Sprinkle bread crumbs over mixture and fold until incorporated.
  • Step 4 Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. Scoop each into a ball, and flatten to make a 1 inch patty.
  • Step 5 Cover & refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours.
  • Step 6 Meanwhile, heat grill until hot (charcoal poured into 1 even layer OR gas grill turn all burners to High & preheat 10 minutes)
  • Step 7 Lightly brush tops of burgers with oil and lay them carefully on the grill, oiled side down. Brush other side with oil. Cook burgers 10-14 minutes – flipping halfway through, or until starting to have grill marks.
  • Step 8 Rest 5 minutes before serving.
