Seared Shrimp Burgers with Chili Crunch Mayo

Shrimp buns are a longtime fan favorite at Momofuku Noodle Bar. We transformed that recipe into an easy burger you can make at home using our Momofuku pantry products. Pro tip: the seasoned salts are up to you, but we like to mix and match with half Spicy and half Savory. One recipe makes 4 burgers.

Ingredients

  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons Momofuku Rice Vinegar
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Momofuku Chili Crunch
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled
  • Momofuku Seasoned Salt, Spicy or Savory
  • olive oil
  • Momofuku Soy Sauce
  • ¼ head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 4 burger buns, warmed in the oven

Directions

First, prepare your toppings. Toss thinly sliced onions with sugar, salt, and Momofuku Rice Vinegar in a bowl and set aside. Combine mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of Momofuku Chili Crunch. Taste and add more if you want to level up your spice.


Then, prepare your burgers. Place about a third of your shrimp in a food processor and blend until it becomes a smooth paste. Add remaining shrimp and 2 teaspoons of your preferred Momofuku Seasoned Salt. (We do a combo of 1 teaspoon of Savory and 1 teaspoon of Spicy.) Pulse until the remaining shrimp are chopped into larger chunks and blended into the paste.


Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Coat your hands in more olive oil, then roll the shrimp mixture into 4 evenly sized balls. Place shrimp balls onto the hot skillet and using a spatula, flatten them so they are about 3 inches in diameter. Add 2 shakes of Momofuku Soy Sauce to each burger and cook for 2 minutes. Flip, add 2 more shakes of Momofuku Soy Sauce to each burger and cook for 2 more minutes, then remove.


Build your burgers. Start with a warmed bun, then spread both sides with the spicy mayonnaise. Add the shrimp burger, shredded iceberg, and pickled onions.
