Four crispy shrimp sandwiches with lettuce on buns arranged on a wooden board.

Serves: 4

For the shrimp patties

  • 2 bags SJÖRAPPORT shrimp, defrosted and minced
  • 3 whole eggs, plus 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons dill, chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 ¼ cups panko bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup flour
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

 

For the dill aioli

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup neutral oil
  • 2 tablespoons white onion, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickles, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon SÅS SENAP AND DILL sauce
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

 

For serving

  • Brioche buns, toasted
  • Butter lettuce
  • ROSTAD LÖK fried onions

Step by step

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the shrimp, 2 whole eggs, 1 egg white, 1/4 cup panko, dill, lemon zest, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties. Add the patties to a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, add the egg yolk and lemon juice. Whisk to combine, then slowly add the oil in a thin, steady stream until the mixture thickens. Stir in the onions, fresh dill, pickles and dill sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Set up a dredging station by placing flour in a wide, shallow bowl or plate. Beat remaining egg and 1 tablespoon of water in another shallow dish. Add remaining panko to a third dish. Working one at a time, dip the patty in the flour, gently shaking off any excess, then into the egg mixture, then into the panko mixture. Transfer to a plate until ready to cook. Repeat with remaining patties.
  4. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large, carbon steel pan, heat 2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches about 350 degrees. Carefully place 2 patties in the pan, cooking until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a wire rack-lined sheet tray and sprinkle with salt. Transfer the patties to the oven until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining patties.
  5. Assemble. Spread the aioli on both sides of the bun, add a shrimp patty, then top with a few leaves of lettuce and fried onions. Serve immediately.
