Shrimp Burgers

Step 1

Boil shrimp for 2 minutes. Drain in a colander, and place ice on top until cool enough to handle. Peel and devein shrimp, and chop into small dice.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix shrimp with scallions, celery, parsley and lemon zest. Stir in mayonnaise, cornbread crumbs and the egg, and beat with a whisk or wooden spoon until evenly distributed. Season with salt, pepper and Tabasco to taste.

Step 3

With your hands, form 6 patties about 3 inches in diameter. Sauté, 3 at a time, in peanut oil until both sides are nicely browned. Drain on paper towels. Serve on hamburger buns with lettuce, tomato and tartar sauce.
