Shrimp Banh Mi Burger with Sriracha Mayo and Carrot Fries

Step 1

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Peel carrots. Use a box grater to grate 1/3 cup carrot. Cut rest into sticks (like French fries). Thinly slice cucumber. Toss carrot fries on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake about 8 minutes, toss, then return to oven to bake until golden brown and tender, another 6-8 minutes.

Step 2

Place cucumbers in a small bowl with white wine vinegar, ¼ tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine mayo and Sriracha to taste.

Step 4

Prep the remaining ingredients: Mince garlic. Zest and halve lime. Split brioche buns and place in oven to toast 5 minutes.

Step 5

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and toss until opaque, 2-3 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and stir in lime zest and a squeeze of juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Assemble and serve: Spread buns with Sriracha mayo, and top with shrimp, pickled cucumbers, shredded carrots, and a few cilantro sprigs. Serve carrot fries on the side and enjoy!
