Instructions
 

  • Shrimp Burgers:
  • Add 3 tablespoons of melted butter, half of the shrimp, and egg in a bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and the mixture starts to clump together, about 10-12 times.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add panko, scallions, salt, Old Bay, lemon zest, lemon juice, and the remaining 1/2-inch pieces of shrimp; gently combine. Shape the mixture into 4 (3 ½ -inch) patties. Transfer patties to a parchment paper–lined baking sheet; cover and chill until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low. Add shrimp patties, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 4-5 minutes per side.
  • To assemble the burgers, spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on the cut sides of both buns. Add the shrimp patties and finish with the toppings of your choice. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
  • Mustard Sauce:
  • In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, lemon juice, salt, and Old Bay. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Shoestring Fries:
  • Wash and peel potatoes; remove any dark spots. Using a mandoline slicer fitted with the julienne blade, slice potatoes into matchsticks. Place sliced potatoes in a large bowl of ice water and chill 10 minutes
  • Meanwhile, place oil in a large, deep, pan, Dutch oven, or deep fryer. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature and heat oil to 350F.
  • Remove potatoes from water bath and place on paper towels or clean dish cloths to dry completely. The dryer the potatoes, the less excess splattering there will be.
  • Once oil is 350º F., place dried potatoes (working in batches- if necessary) in the oil and stir to separate them. Adjust temperature to keep it as close to 350º F. as possible.
  • Fry 2½ – 3½ minutes or until golden brown. Watch closely and stir often.
  • Transfer cooked potatoes with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel lined plate. Season with salt and black pepper, and garnish with fresh parsley.
