These shrimp burgers blend juicy shrimp with bold Thai flavors and Jody’s Asian Persuasion Rub, grilled to perfection on the SmokeStone for a light yet flavorful twist on a classic burger.

Instructions

Step 1: Add 1 pound of shrimp into the food processor with the onion, Thai seasoning paste, and 1 tablespoon Jody's Asian Persuasion. Using the pulse feature, blend into a paste. This should take 4-5 pulses, some chunks are ok.
Step 2: Place the shrimp paste to a large mixing bowl, rough chop the remainder of the shrimp and fold into the shrimp paste. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Start the SmokeStone and preheat to low medium.
Step 4: Remove the shrimp mixture from the fridge and form into 4 separate 1/2 inch thick patties. Season the top and bottom with the Jody's Asian Persuasion Rub.
Step 5: Hit the SmokeStone with some butter and add the shrimp patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the shrimp reaches 145ºF, pull the shrimp patties and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Step 6: Butter the inside of the bun and toast on the SmokeStone until golden brown.
Step 7: Build the burgers by spooning the cocktail sauce on the bun. Add the pickles and the lettuce to the bottom and place the shrimp patty on top of that. Place the top bun on and enjoy.
