Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #25 (Theme: Shrimp) - 2nd Entry: Seaweed Rice & Shrimp Burger with Homemade Wasabi Sauce

Growing up, I consumed a lot of seafood and shrimp is one of my favourites. Perhaps, this explains why I have a huge pregnancy craving for shrimp this week.

On Sunday morning, I had my husband's permission to go out for groceries shopping (These days, I am only allowed to go out when there's no snow and when the weather is nice. Luckily, it was a lovely day in Toronto).

In Toronto, the best place to pick up seafood would be Kensington Market or St. Lawrence Market. Since I am only allowed to go somewhere close, Whole Food in Yorkville was my only option.

Luckily, they did have a variety of shrimps to choose from. So, I picked up some tiger shrimps for my tempura shrimp sandwich that I posted yesterday. And, for my shrimp burger, I got the gulf white shrimps.

And, I made this Seaweed Rice & Shrimp Burger with Homemade Wasabi Sauce:

Here are the ingredients:

• Sushi rice, Seaweed, Shrimp, Cotton Tofu, finely chopped Red and Green pepper, Mayo, Salt and Pepper, Spinach, Egg, Flour, Panko, Wasabi paste, Mayo, Cucumber

Here are the steps:

• Cook rice, let it cool, mix in with some shredded seaweed, form two burger buns
• Mince shrimp, mix in with tofu, chopped peppers, mayo, salt and pepper, drag in flour, egg and panko, then pan fry until crispy
• Mix cucumber, wasabi and mayo to make the sauce
• Saute spinach
• Assemble the burger together

This is my 76th sandwich, ho ho ho! Let's take a 'closer' look at this burger:

I like that this burger is a lighter burger, perfect for me as I do need to watch what I eat these days. The shrimp patty is crispy, tasty and less greasy. The seaweed flavoured rice and the wasabi sauce also go so well together. All in all, It was another success and I was quite happy with this creation.
