Ingredients

4 burgers

　　1 1/2 pounds raw medium shrimp, shelled and deveined, tails removed

　　1 tablespoon chili powder (half a palmful)

　　1 tablespoon Old Bay or other seafood seasoning (half a palmful)

　　Several drops of hot sauce, such as Tabasco

　　2 to 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

　　1 teaspoon coarse black pepper

　　Zest and juice of 1 lemon

　　A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

　　1 celery rib, chopped

　　1 garlic clove, smashed out of its skin

　　2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) (twice around)

　　1 package of large flour tortillas, warmed and passed at the table

　　

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

　　

Step 2

Place half of the shrimp in a food processor bowl with the chili powder, Old Bay seasoning, hot sauce, thyme leaves, black pepper, lemon zest and juice, parsley, celery, and garlic. Process the mixture for 1 minute to combine. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Chop the remaining shrimp and fold into the ground shrimp. Get a large metal ice cream scoop and place it in the bowl. Add the EVOO to the skillet. Mound a quarter of the shrimp mixture into the scoop at a time and transfer it to the hot pan. Use a fish spatula to gently press the shrimp mixture into patties and fry them for 5 minutes on each side or until firm and opaque.
