Southwest Shrimp Burgers
What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from shrimp, seasoned with a blend of spices that evoke the flavors of the American Southwest. They offer a convenient way to enjoy seafood with a bit of a kick. The shrimp is typically finely ground and mixed with binders and seasonings before being shaped into burger patties.
How people cook with it
These shrimp burgers are a versatile option for quick meals. They can be prepared in various ways to suit different tastes and occasions.

- Crumble into tacos or burritos
- Enjoy as is with a side dish
To cook, heat a lightly oiled skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Place the shrimp burgers in the hot pan or on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are heated through and have a nice sear. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the shrimp tough. They are best served immediately after cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional beef burgers, these shrimp burgers offer a lighter flavor profile and a different texture. The Southwest seasoning provides a distinct spicy and savory taste that sets them apart from plain shrimp patties or other seasoned seafood options.

How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused patties in their original packaging or an airtight container. They should be kept cold and consumed within a few days of opening. For longer storage, they can be frozen.
