Yield:
4 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Blue Plate® Mayonnaise, divided
- 1 tablespoon Louisiana style hot sauce, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, divided
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup red bell peppers, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Creole mustard or other whole grain spicy mustard
- 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 pound large peeled and deveined shrimp, coarsely chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs, divided
- 4 tablespoons grapeseed oil, more if needed
- 4 brioche buns
- 4 leaves Bibb lettuce
- 4 slices ripe tomato
Directions
- Make spicy mayo: Combine 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the hot sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of the Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
- Combine remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce and 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, green onions, red peppers, mustard, parsley, lemon zest and salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times until the mixture is smooth. Add shrimp and egg and pulse several times until the mixture is smooth but still slightly chunky.
- Using wet hands form 4 shrimp patties. Transfer patties to a shallow bowl containing the panko breadcrumbs. Coat all sides of the patties with the crumbs. Place on a baking sheet and place in freezer for 5 minutes or until firm enough to handle. (Shrimp patties can be frozen at this point for up to 1 month.)
- Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
- Toast brioche buns. Place a shrimp patty on the bottom of each bun, top with lettuce, and tomato. Spread 2 tablespoons reserved mayonnaise on each bun and place on top.
- Serve hot.
