Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb. ground beef I use 85% lean
  • 1 Tsp. Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 lb. cooked shrimp shelled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup green onions finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh tarragon finely chopped
  • 4 Tbsp. mayo
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • the juice of 1/2 a lemon

Instructions

  • To prepare the burger patties, divide the beef into 4 equal size portions. Shape into 1/2 inch thick patties. Do not overwork the beef or your burger will be dense and dry.
  • Press your thumb into the center of each patty, leaving an indent the size of a nickel. This will help the patty hold its shape. (Tip from Cooking Light magazine)
  • Sprinkle the burger patties with 1/2 tsp. kosher salt and 1/2 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning. Set aside.
  • Cut each shrimp into 2-3 pieces. In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, onions, celery, tarragon, mayo, remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning, 1/2 tsp. black pepper and the lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Place the prepared burger patties on the grill. Grill to your liking. I grilled mine for 4 minutes per side for medium burgers. Top with cheese during last minute if desired.
  • Remove from grill and let stand for about 5 minutes.
  • Toast the buns while burgers are resting.
  • Place lettuce and tomato on top of bottom bun, top with burger, then a nice scoop of shrimp salad.
