Shrimp Burgers

Shrimp Burgers

This hearty shrimp burger is a nod to the classic New Orleans po’boy, but without the hassle of pulling out the deep fryer. The trick here is putting half the shrimp into a food processor to use as a binder for the burger, meaning that the patty has more shrimp flavor. Here, we used Old Bay seasoning, but you could also swap in your favorite Cajun seasoning, like Tony Chachere or Slap Ya Mama, for something the hews even closer to a po’boy. If keeping things meat-free isn’t a concern, this is particularly delicious cooked in bacon grease instead of butter.
