Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 4 whole Burger buns
• 4 leaves Lettuce
• 1 large Tomato (sliced)
• 0 Optional toppings (e.g., pickles, sliced onions, sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Place the shrimp in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped but not pureed. Transfer the chopped shrimp to a large bowl.

Step 2

Add the green onions, garlic, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the shrimp. Mix well until combined.

Step 3

In a shallow plate, spread out the panko breadcrumbs. Beat the eggs in a separate shallow bowl.

Step 4

Divide the shrimp mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.

Step 5

Dip each patty into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat each patty thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the shrimp patties to the skillet.

Step 7

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a crispy shrimp patty and your choice of additional toppings or sauce. Cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
