Ingredients
Scale
Homemade Sauce
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp diced pickles (about ½ a pickle)
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp sugar
Shrimp Patty
- 20 medium shrimp (41–50 per pound)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ egg
- ½ Tbsp dried parsley flakes
- ¼ onion, diced
- 1 Tbsp potato starch (or cornstarch)
- ¼ cup + 2 Tbsp Korean-style breadcrumbs (or Japanese panko)
- ½ cup Korean-style breadcrumbs (for coating)
Burger Toppings
- 2 potato buns (or your favorite burger buns)
- Lettuce, cabbage, cheese, raw onion, tomato, peppers (best with lettuce and cheese!)
Instructions
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, diced pickles, Dijon mustard, and sugar. Set aside or refrigerate.
- Prepare the shrimp patty mixture: Roughly chop the shrimp, then combine with salt, half an egg, parsley flakes, diced onion, potato starch, and ¼ cup + 2 Tbsp breadcrumbs. Mix until well combined.
- Form and coat the patties: Shape the shrimp mixture into two burger-sized patties. Coat each patty in the additional ½ cup breadcrumbs.
- Fry the patties: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the shrimp patties until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side.
- Assemble the burger: Toast the buns if desired. Spread the homemade sauce on each bun, then layer with lettuce, cheese, and your crispy shrimp patty. Add any other toppings you love.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh shrimp for best texture, but thawed frozen shrimp works too.
- Adjust sauce ingredients to your taste—add more pickles for tang, or extra mustard for zing.
- For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne powder to the shrimp mix.
