This recipe does not require hard labor. The only other addition to the bun and burger I added was mayonnaise on the bread. I did not make the tartar sauce because in my opinion, the recipe did not require it due to its great flavor. I would describe the taste as not shrimpy (strong odor of shrimp), a great balance of ingredients, and the cayenne kicks it up a notch. I now understand why Emeril says that. That is the only way I could describe the cayenne addition :.), I will defenately make this again :.)




This is great

I'm one of those Cajuns from South Louisiana(!!! Now transplanted in Florida)) and I've eaten this similar dish many times but this one took it to the top. It is absolutely great. Whenever I make this for friends, it's quite a spectacle because they just can't stop saying how great it is.




Tasty!

A five star way to use shrimp.....

I would agree with the other reviewers this is a unique and delicious alternative to meat burgers. Afte cooking it appears to look like a quasi shrimp 'crab cake.' The flavor is a "wow" and probably one of Emeril's best recipes. The only problem was keeping the finished shrimp burgers together. I used Costco peeled and devaned shrimp. After thawing the shrimp, I noticed while taking off the small remaining shrimp tails it seemd pretty wet. I continued with making the recipe anyway but I realized afterward that I should have paper toweled the packaging water from the shrimp before choppping it and adding the the other components. A small fix to an otherwise excellent 5 star recipe.




timely, but worth it

This was an awesome dish, I served it with wedged potatos and the best part was the home-made tarter sauce - better than ANY fancy restaurant. The only problem I experienced was the fact that the patties do not stick together easily. Use shredded lettuce, helps keep things together. My husband said it was the best meal he had in a long time.




Next Party..........

I have also made these several times also & everytime we have them we remember why we make them again. I dont really like my seafood "chopped up" but you have to try these.. Next party we plan to serve these as a appetizer...the seasonings are the key to the flavors - make sure to let it marinate all together..you're gonna love 'em too!!! Great new way to have shrimp!!!




Great Burgers, especially for Lent

Being as I always crave a burger on Fridays during lent, this recipe is fulfills that need for something absolutely amazing. The only issue I had is that the first couple of times they were too watery. I learned the hard way to let the shrimp sit in a strainer for a few minutes to drain the excess water from the shrimp. This has fast become a family favorite!




excelent to outstanding

great southern recipe. I drained the shrimp and patted them dry,so the bergers would not fall apart(as much). I also sprinkled some flour on the shrimp for the same reason.

This was an unexpected and very yummy shrimp dish. I do have to warn you though that you have to handle the mix with delicate hands. Be careful and you will be rewarded.

Shrimp burgers was a delightful surprise. A native of New Orleans, resident north of the lake yet I never thought to make a burger of shrimp.

I love the Shrimp Burger!!! I've been on Atkins for a year now and I'm always looking for a new idea. Shrimp burgers without the bread are awesome. I just wish Emeril would have de-veined the shrimp on his show before he chopped them. Thanks Emeril, for another great meal!!!




The BEST Burger ever!

great alternative burger

These burgers are great. I added wasabi to the tartar sauce to make it more of an Asian flavor to go with the shrimp, and I would recommended radish sprouts to go in the burger as well.




THE BEST!!!!

The burgers were very different and tasty. I loved his recipe for tartar sauce it went really well with the burger. Butt...... it was unblievably messy. Only 3 turned out as burgers and they soon fell apart. So it ended up a really shrimp po boy.




WOW!!

These babies are WONDERFUL!! I did find that they were a bit messy for forming into burgers so I added a bit of flour into the mix. And since there are only 2 of us, I made half the recipe, saved the second half of mixture for the next night, and it was just as good!! I mixed mayo w/wasabi instead of using tartar sauce and it was fabulous....a new favorite, for sure!!




Worth making essence for

Apparently the draining of the burger mix for the entire time noted is IMPORTANT. Excellent taste.




Delicious!!!

I was very nervous about eating Shrimp Burgers, but my family loves shrimp, so I had to give it a try. They reminded me of veggie burgers. You can taste all the vegetables individually. There's only 3 of us, so we had enough for the next night as well. I mean really, did you see the size of the burgers Emril made? I couldn't eat a burger that big. I put the rest of the mixture in a container, and it was as good as new.




WOW!
