4. McShrimp Burger/Ebi Filet-o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhuVx42J8rI There are shrimp burgers at McDonald's around the world, or at least throughout Asia, but the one we're looking at here is called the Ebi Filet-o, and sometimes the McShrimp Burger or even just the "Shrimp Burger." By this point, you've probably figured out that it's basically a burger which uses a shrimp patty of some sort. Like the McPork, there isn't much to describe about this one: The big deal is in the meat itself, which is a breaded shrimp patty served with lettuce and some spicy sauce on a Big Mac-styled bun. But really, it's a shrimp burger - isn't that all you really need here? Isn't that all any of us (those who can't eat shellfish excluded, of course) really need? The sandwich generated 10 million sales in its first three months, so maybe they should really look at taking this one on the road.
