Here’s a delicious and absolutely comforting seafood burger. The patty itself is full of sweet shrimp flavour, while the tartar sauce adds a bit of kick from pickled jalapeño. Ready to serve in a short 30 minutes, you can have these burgers on weeknights or weekends. Pureed shrimp is quite sticky and needs very little to bind. We use a little egg white to hold it all together. These flavourful burgers are a great way to get kids into seafood.
