Growing up near so many Japanese restaurants and markets, I've always loved the crunchy, bright flavor of seaweed salad. Speckled with sesame seeds, it's the perfect snack, and paired with a shrimp burger it's the perfect topping. The seaweed, shrimp and South Asian flavors in the burger go together beautifully. You could serve this without the bun as a main course, but I love it all piled high as an unexpected twist on the classic summer BBQ burger.

Directions
- For the patties: Toss all of the ingredients except for the shrimp, cornstarch and oil into a food processor and pulse until everything is finely chopped and integrated. Add the shrimp and cornstarch and pulse -- you don't want the machine running -- 5 to 10 times until a chunky paste forms. Form the shrimp mixture into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick. Set aside on a sheet of wax paper.
- In a large skillet (or on a grill), coat heavily with the oil and heat over medium heat. Cook the patties until fully cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
- For serving: Combine the mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl and stir well. Spread on the split sides of the burger buns. Place a shrimp patty on each of the bottom buns, top with seaweed salad and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Close the burgers and serve.
Cook’s Note
The seaweed salad I use is a standard one that I've gotten in the prepared foods section of many supermarkets and other deli counters. You could substitute chopped kimchi or Asian-style pickled cucumbers. If none of these are available, top the burgers with sliced fresh cucumbers for a refreshing crunch.
