So quick, easy and delicious… if you’re a shrimp lover like me, you’re going to love these Sautéed Shrimp Burgers! 
I can’t take the credit for these… in my mid-twenties this was one of my FAVORITE things to eat at a local restaurant that is now closed, Raps in Morehead City, NC. I’ve tried to re-create it the best I could over the years and it’s a total SCORE! 
These shrimp burgers were so good that they were one of the very first recipes I posted on the blog.
Seriously, how can you go wrong with seasoned shrimp and mushrooms on a kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato, red onion and homemade tartar sauce. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have over the years!
