I had the chance to try McDonald’s limited edition burger, the N.Y. Lemon Tartar Shrimp Burger!
The combination of the crispy shrimp cutlet, rich tartar sauce, and the refreshing lemon flavor creates an exquisite balance. The fresh citrus aroma spreads in your mouth as soon as you take a bite, harmonizing perfectly with the creamy tartar sauce.
1. First Impressions
Starting with the packaging, the pink-colored wrapper is eye-catching and has a fun, pop-art design.
Once unwrapped, you’ll see the crispy shrimp cutlet and a generous amount of lettuce. The bun has a slightly grainy texture from cornmeal, making it fluffy yet firm.
2. The First Bite
The moment you take a bite, the shrimp’s plump and juicy texture stands out, complemented by the creamy tartar sauce. Then comes the refreshing lemon kick, tying everything together beautifully.
The breading is crispy yet light, and the bun’s slight sweetness enhances the overall balance, making each bite satisfying.
3. Pairing with Sides
I ordered the burger as part of a set with fries and a drink.
The saltiness of the fries enhances the tartar sauce’s richness, while a carbonated drink adds an extra refreshing contrast.
