Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp Burger Patties

  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Guacamole

  • 1 avocado, mashed
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, minced (optional, for heat)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Additional

  • Burger buns (your choice)
  • Lettuce and tomato, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a food processor, add the raw shrimp and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer the chopped shrimp to a mixing bowl, ensuring not to over-process into a paste.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Add breadcrumbs, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, beaten egg, and lime juice to the bowl with shrimp. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined, creating a moist but firm mixture.
  3. Form Patties: Divide the shrimp mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into burger patties about 1 inch thick, ensuring they hold together well.
  4. Heat the Grill or Pan: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil to prevent the patties from sticking during cooking.
  5. Cook the Patties: Place the shrimp patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through, opaque, and lightly browned on the outside.
  6. Make the Guacamole: While the patties cook, prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocado in a bowl. Stir in finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño if using, salt to taste, and lime juice. Mix to combine evenly.
  7. Assemble the Burgers: Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. Place a shrimp patty on the bottom half of each bun, then generously spread a good amount of guacamole on top of the patty.
  8. Add Additional Toppings: Garnish each assembled burger with fresh lettuce and tomato slices or any additional toppings you prefer for extra flavor and texture.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the shrimp burgers immediately while hot for the best taste. Enjoy this fresh and zesty meal with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • If jalapeño is too spicy, omit or reduce the amount to suit your heat preference.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, chop the shrimp finely by hand.
  • Make sure patties are tightly formed to prevent them from falling apart during cooking.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with your choice of cheeses, sauces, or pickled vegetables.
  • Cook shrimp patties just until opaque to avoid overcooking and tough texture.
