How To Make Spicy Shrimp Burger W/Ginger Mayo Cocktail Sauce.

1. In a food processor, add cilantro leaves, garlic, green pepper, and onion, and pulse lightly to combine. Then add shrimp to the food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.

2. Remove shrimp mixture from the food processor and place in a large bowl; add panko bread crumbs, old bay seasonings, dill, ginger, and mayo, and blend well. Then add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

3. Form shrimp burgers - with a large ice cream scoop or large spoon, place mixture in your hands, form 6 - ½” thick Patties, and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place burgers in the refrigerator and let chill for 10 – 15 minutes.

4. While burgers are chilling, add ½ cup of mayo, parsley, ginger paste, and cocktail sauce in a small bowl and mix well.

5. In a large nonstick skillet, add olive oil over medium heat, place 3 patties in the pan, cook until golden brown on one side, then turn over and cook the other. Repeat the process for the second batch of patties. The cooking process should take about 15 – 20 minutes. After cooking, place burgers on a plate and keep warm.

6. Place Kaiser rolls in the toaster oven and toast lightly if desired. For each burger, place one butter lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, add shrimp burger, thinly sliced red onions, and top it off with ginger mayo cocktail sauce, then crown the burger with the top bun. Round out the meal with fries, chips, or potato salad. Enjoy
