Recipe Introduction


Though good grilled, these are also excellent cooked in a pan, whether in clarified butter or peanut or olive oil. In either case, they are best served with typical burger trimmings, especially a couple of slices of a good tomato.



List of Ingredients




1 large clove garlic, peeled
1 dried or fresh chili, stemmed, seeded and deveined,
or more to taste
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 1/2 pounds peeled shrimp, deveined if you like
1/4 cup roughly chopped shallots, scallions or red onion
1/4 cup roughly chopped red or yellow bell pepper, optional
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, or to taste
Neutral oil, like corn or canola, as needed
Toasted buns, optional
Lime wedges or ketchup for serving.

Recipe



1. Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be moderately hot and rack about 4 inches from heat source.

2. Combine garlic, chili, ginger and 1/3 of the shrimp in a food processor and purée, stopping machine to scrape down sides of container as necessary. Add remaining shrimp along with shallots, bell pepper, salt, pepper and cilantro, and pulse as many times as necessary to chop shrimp, but not too finely. Shape mixtureinto 4 patties.

3. Brush grill or patties lightly with oil and place them on grill. Cook undisturbed until a dark crust appears on bottom and theyrelease fairly easily with a spatula, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes on the other side. Serve on buns or not, as you like, with ketchup or lime juice as a condiment.
