Ingredients

• 1 pound Raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tails removed)
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for grilling)
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Sliced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Tartar sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Using a food processor, pulse the shrimp a few times until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want small chunks, not a paste.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. Place the patties on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them firm up.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates or pan lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the shrimp patties on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a grilled shrimp patty and a slice of tomato. Spread tartar sauce on the top half of each bun, if desired, and place it on top.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Shrimp Burgers!
