Directions
-
Prepare the Shrimp Mixture
Add shrimp to a food processor and pulse just a few times until roughly chopped — do not over-process. Transfer to a bowl and mix gently with egg, hot & spicy mayo, lemon juice, green onions, and Creole seasoning. -
Form & Cook the Patties
Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Divide mixture into two portions and form directly in the pan into burger-sized patties.
Cook 3–4 minutes on the first side until golden. Flip, add a small splash of water, cover, and steam gently until fully cooked through. Add cheese if desired and allow to melt. -
Toast the Buns
In a separate pan, butter the brioche buns and toast until golden brown. -
Assemble
Layer lettuce and tomato on the toasted buns. Add the shrimp patty and generously drizzle with Creole Tartar and Creamy Cocktail sauce. Serve immediately.
