Shrimp burger with chilli mayonnaise
This is the ultimate burger for seafood lovers. Easy to prepare and make in advance , the patties cook equally well in a pan or on a bbq, I’ve served mine with roasted sweet potato wedges and my delicious red cabbage slaw
Ingredients
Serves 4
500g raw king prawns (frozen is fine, just make sure they are fully defrosted before you start)
4 spring onions, thinly sliced
10-15g flat leaf parsley, leaves and stalks finely chopped
Handful rocket leaves
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Splash of tobacco
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Method
1. Start by making the chilli mayonnaise , preheat the grill to high. Put the pepper and chilli on a roasting tray and grill turning regularly, until blackened all over, place in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave to cool.
2. Once cooled remove and discard skin and seeds, finely chop chilli and pepper then mix into the mayonnaise now add the rest of the ingredients. Season and chill until needed.
3. Pat the prawns dry on kitchen paper and place 1/3 into a food processor with the spring onions, blitz until smooth, roughly chop by hand the remaining prawns.
4. In a mixing bowl add all of the prawns , parsley, Worcestershire and tobacco sauces, cayenne and lemon juice , combine all together, season with salt and pepper
5. Divide And shape the mix into 4 patties, brush each burger with a little olive oil and fry over a medium-high heat in a non stick pan ( or on a bbq ) for 4 to 6 mins on each side, until golden and cooked through
6. Serve in a toasted bun with the chilli mayonnaise and rocket leaves , I also like to have it with homemade slaw and roasted potato wedges.
