Shrimpburger recipe --

Ingredients:

1 pound raw Shrimp (cleaned, shelled & deveined)

1 Egg

1/8 cup finely chopped Cilantro

1/2 cup Panko Crumbs

Kosher Salt

Freshly ground Black Pepper (DP Shaking the Tree)

Wasabi Mayonnaise (recipe follows)

Directions:

In a food processor, process half the shrimp with the egg. Coarsely chop the remaining shrimp and put it into a bowl. Add the processed shrimp and the cilantro, panko crumbs, salt and pepper to taste. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and form them into patties (a round cookie cutter works well for forming the shrimp burgers.  Put the cookie cutter on freezer or waxed paper and fill with the shrimp mixture, then gently pull off the cookie cutter).  After the burgers are formed, put them in the refrigerator for at least an hour to help them firm up.

Stabilize egg at 350° with a raised grid.  Place the burgers on a perforated pan such as a pizza pan with holes or the cooking grid.  Place pan on the raised grid and grill until cooked through, turning once, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Remove the burgers to a sweet Hawaiian roll that has been spread with the wasabi mayonnaise.  Add more wasabi mayonnaise on top of the shrimp burger.  Enjoy!

Wasabi Mayonnaise:

1 cup Mayonnaise

1/4 cup prepared Wasabi (available in the Asian section of your supermarket)

1 tsp. freshly grated Ginger

2 Tbls. Soy Sauce

1 tsp. Sugar

Pinch Salt

Mix all the ingredients together. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

To make more than four ¼ pound size, just increase the ingredients proportionately (no need to make more mayo, there is plenty for at least 5 pounds of shrimp).  If you make the shrimpburgers about the size of the small Hawaiian rolls you should get 7 or 8 per pound of shrimp.
