Shrimp Burgers with Jalapeno Remoulade are a tasty New Orleans-inspired alternative to traditional beef burgers. A jalapeno remoulade is the perfect, delicious accompaniment!
Happy National Burger Day! While I love a good, classic beef burger, these Shrimp Burgers with Jalapeno Remoulade are a tasty alternative.
When I saw this shrimp burger recipe in a recent Cuisine at Home magazine, I knew it would be perfect with my “go-to” remoulade that I make for my clients whenever I prepare certain fish or seafood dishes.
What is remoulade?
A remoulade has French origins and is usually aioli or mayonnaise-based. It’s similar to a tartar sauce and pairs well with fish and seafood dishes. One of the main ingredients is something pickled such as cucumbers or capers.
We always have pickled jalapenos in the pantry so instead of the traditional pickles or capers, I used our pickled jalapenos. We loved the spicy result!
Tips for making shrimp burgers:
A food processor makes quick work of both components of this dish--the remoulade and the shrimp burgers.
- First, combine the remoulade ingredients in the food processor and process until smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until needed
- Because you did the remoulade first, don't worry about washing out the food processor. Mince the vegetables then the shrimp and you're on your way!
- Double the recipe, form into mini cakes and these make a great appetizer!
- The shrimp burgers need to be chilled before cooking so they hold together better when being cooked. Simply form into burgers, then place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes or refrigerate at least 30-45 minutes.
Serve with oven-baked French fries seasoned with your favorite Cajun seasoning blend and a good brew on the side. Enjoy!
