This is a classic burger in every way, but with a big twist. It made from everyone’s other favorite meat—shrimp. A touch of spicy mayonnaise and fried green tomato round out this big bite for burger day.
For the shrimp: Preheat the oil in a deep-fryer to 380 degrees F and a grill to high heat.
Chop half the shrimp into a rough paste. If the shrimp aren’t sticking together, add a tablespoon at a time of cornstarch in a bowl and mix until it sticks together. Chop the remaining shrimp into large pieces and mix with the paste. Divide into four 6-ounce portions. Refrigerate.
For the spicy mayo: In a food processor, pulse the capers, cornichons and parsley until rough chopped, then add the chipotles in adobo sauce and pulse until smooth. Place the mixture in a bowl and add the mayonnaise and lemon juice. Stir to combine and set aside.
For the burgers: Set up three bowls for breading. Add the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs to each bowl, in that order. Slice the green tomatoes 1/4-inch thick and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Begin breading in the flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs; repeat the process for all the slices. Deep-fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes, then set aside.
Sprinkle the shrimp patties with salt and pepper. On the very hot, high-heat grill, cook the shrimp patties until pink and firm or an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place the shrimp patties on the bun bottoms, then add the fried tomatoes and spread spicy mayo on the bun tops; close the burgers.
