For optimal flavor, use high-quality, fresh shrimp. Wild-caught shrimp often has a superior taste. Freezing the butter before adding it to the patties helps to keep them moist during cooking. Do not overmix the shrimp mixture, as this can result in tough burgers. A light touch is key. Serve the shrimp burgers on toasted brioche buns with your favorite toppings, such as a lemon-dill aioli, sliced avocado, and crisp lettuce.
