Shrimp Burgers image

A shrimp burger is simply a cake of shrimp and seasonings served on a bun, with lettuce, tomato and tartar sauce. These concentrate the sweet essence of shellfish and complement it with semisweet seasonings like parsley, onion and celery. They are easy to prepare, and they bring the warmth of a summer beach picnic indoors.
