Shrimp Burger
- Burgers:
- 2 slices high-quality whole-wheat bread
- 2 pounds raw large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and divided
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon grated onion
- 3/4 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- Sauce:
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup light sour cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons capers, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
- Remaining Ingredients:
- 3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
- 6 hamburger buns, toasted
- 6 romaine lettuce leaves
- 6 (1/4-inch-thick) slices tomato
- To prepare burgers, pulse bread in a food processor to coarse crumbs, about 4 pulses. Transfer to a bowl. Place 1 1/2 pounds shrimp into food processor; add egg white, onion, Old Bay, and pepper, and pulse until there is a mix of finely minced pieces and coarsely chopped pieces, about 7 pulses. Add mixture to breadcrumbs.
- Chop remaining 1/2 pound shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces; add to breadcrumb-shrimp mixture. Add 1/4 cup chopped parsley, and mix until combined. Shape mixture into 6 (1/3-cup) balls. To prepare sauce, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, capers, if desired, horseradish, and 1 teaspoon parsley. Reserve.
- Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until oil begins to shimmer, about 1 minute. Place 3 shrimp balls in pan, flattening to 1/2-inch thickness. Reduce heat to medium; cook until edges turn pink, and burger looks golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn over and cook 3 minutes or until done. Repeat with remaining oil and shrimp balls.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons sauce on each bun bottom. Top each with shrimp burger, lettuce leaf, and tomato slice. Cover with bun tops.
