Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 0.5 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 0.25 cup breadcrumbs panko
  • 0.1 cup scallions finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon sriracha or to taste
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Chop the shrimp into small pieces. You can use a food processor for a finer texture, but be careful not to over-process.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, panko breadcrumbs, scallions, cilantro, grated ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, and sriracha.
  3. Add the beaten egg and mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Carefully place the shrimp patties in the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately on buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, and a remoulade sauce.

Notes

These shrimp burgers are versatile. You can grill them instead of pan-frying. Adjust the sriracha for your desired level of spice. Serve with a side salad or sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
