Ingredients
- Beef steak patties (for burgers) 2
- Frozen shrimp cutlets 2
- Fresh lettuce leaves 4
- Cheddar cheese slices 3
- Ripe tomato 1/2
- Onion 1/2
- Burger sauce 6 Tbsp
- Hamburger buns (brioche) 3
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thinly slice the tomato into rounds. Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly under running water, then pat them completely dry with paper towels. Excess moisture can make your burger soggy.
Step 2
Slice the onion thinly and soak it in cold water for about 10 minutes to reduce its sharpness. This step helps to bring out the natural sweetness of the onion while mellowing its bite, enhancing the overall burger flavor. Have your cheese slices ready.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the main components. Place the frozen shrimp cutlets in an air fryer and cook at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy. For the beef steak patty, microwave it in a microwave-safe dish for about 5 minutes until heated through. Gently warm the frozen hamburger buns in the microwave for about 1 minute until soft; be careful not to overheat them, as they can become tough.
Step 4
Once the buns are warmed, generously spread the burger sauce on the inner surfaces of both halves of each bun. One half will serve as the base, and the other as the top bun. This adds moisture and flavor to the bun.
Step 5
Begin assembling your burgers. On the bottom half of a sauced bun, place a crisp lettuce leaf. Then, add the beef steak patty for your standard burger. For the double burger, place another beef steak patty on top. For the shrimp burger, arrange the crispy fried shrimp cutlet.
Step 6
Next, layer the sliced tomatoes evenly over the patties. Follow with a layer of the mellowed onion slices.
Step 7
For the double burger, add another lettuce leaf for extra freshness and texture. Then, place the second fried shrimp cutlet on top, building up the layers for a truly indulgent experience.
Step 8
Finally, crown your burgers. Place the sauced top bun on the standard and shrimp burgers. For the double burger, lay a slice of cheese over the shrimp cutlet before adding the top bun; the residual heat will slightly melt the cheese.
Step 9
And there you have it! Your delicious beef burger, shrimp burger, and impressive double burger are complete. They look amazing, don’t they? Let’s cut them in half to reveal the wonderful cross-section.
Step 10
To keep the burgers upright and presentable, insert a sturdy chopstick or a skewer before slicing them in half. Admire the juicy beef steak in the classic burger, the satisfyingly crisp shrimp cutlet in the shrimp burger, and the ultimate combination in the hearty double burger! Enjoy this restaurant-worthy meal made effortlessly at home.
