Imitation crab is lower in cost and still provides a seafood flavor.

In a large bowl, combine lump crab meat, red onions, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and egg-free vegan mayo.

Add paprika, cayenne pepper, and minced garlic to the mixture.

Crack one egg over the mixture to help bind the crab cake together.

Add 1 cup of bread crumbs and mix thoroughly without overworking the crab meat.

Form the mixture into patties by hand, similar to making meatballs, and shape them into burger forms.

If not using the entire mixture, place the leftover mixture in the fridge to help it set for easier cooking.

Preheat the air fryer to 370°F and spray the basket with cooking spray for easy removal of the crab cakes.

Place the crab cakes in the air fryer and cook for 15 minutes until golden brown.

In a frying pan, sauté sweet onions and sun-dried tomatoes until tender, about 5 minutes.

Season shrimp with all-purpose seasoning and sear on both sides until cooked.

Prepare a lemon garlic aioli by mixing lemon juice, egg-free mayo, and Frank's hot sauce to taste.

Toast potato bread buns until warm and slightly crispy.

Assemble the burger by placing fresh spinach on the bottom bun, followed by the crab cake, aioli, sautéed onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and shrimp.

Top with more aioli if desired and serve.
