Fried Shrimp Burger Ingredients

Method

Fried Shrimp Burger Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix the shrimp with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, cornstarch, and bread crumbs. In a fourth bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat it with bread crumbs. Set aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    On each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by fried shrimp, a slice of tomato, and a generous dollop of tartar sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried shrimp burgers immediately while hot.
