What side dishes go well with surf and turf burgers?

What does 'Surf and Turf' actually mean?

'Surf and Turf' is the classic American term for a dish that combines seafood (surf) with red meat (turf). With this Surf and Turf burger, you bring together the briny flavor of fresh, grilled shrimp and the savory taste of juicy grilled meat on one bun. A match made in heaven!

Which shrimp or scampi should I use for this burger?

Opt for large, raw shrimp or scampi (like tiger shrimp). Peel them in advance and remove the intestinal tract if it hasn't been done already. Since they cook very quickly, you only need to grill or pan-fry them for 1 to 2 minutes per side until they are nicely pink and firm. Don't cook them too long, or they will become tough!

What type of bun goes best with a Surf and Turf burger?

A soft brioche bun is an absolute winner here! The slightly sweet, creamy flavor of brioche pairs perfectly with the grilled shrimp and savory meat. Cut the bun open and toast the cut sides briefly on the grill or in a dry pan. This gives your burger a nice crunch and prevents the mayonnaise from soaking into the bun immediately.

Can I make the shrimp butter in advance?

Yes, absolutely, that's even a smart time-saver! You can mix the enhanced shrimp butter a day in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator. Take the butter out half an hour before use so it becomes nice and spreadable again, or melt a piece directly in the pan to coat the shrimp at the last moment.

Mix all the ingredients for the butter thoroughly and set aside.

Remove the shells from the shrimp, season them with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Optionally, place them between a grill rack and grill them briefly on both sides.

Brush the meat with some olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Grill for about three minutes on each side, let rest for 5 minutes.

Heat some shrimp butter in a pan, arrange the grilled shrimp on top.

Slice the grilled meat into thin strips. Place the split buns on the grill for a moment. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom. Add the lettuce, meat, and shrimp on top.

Put the lid on, stick a toothpick through it, and serve.
