Whether topped with lettuce, tomato, and a zesty remoulade sauce or kept simple with a squeeze of lemon, these shrimp patties make for a delicious, easy-to-prepare meal that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or a special occasion.
Ingredients:
For the Shrimp Patties:
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced

For the Sandwiches:
- 4 hamburger buns or brioche buns

Instructions:
- Prepare the shrimp patties: In a food processor, pulse the shrimp until coarsely chopped. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onions, garlic, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the patties: Divide the shrimp mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook the patties: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp patties to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Toast the hamburger buns if desired. Spread a layer of remoulade sauce, tartar sauce, or mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a shrimp patty on top, followed by lettuce leaves and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
