Ingredients

• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 green onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 0.5 red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 red onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 burger buns
• 4 butter or lettuce leaves (optional, for serving)
• 1 sliced avocado (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse 3/4 of the shrimp until finely chopped but not pureed. Dice the remaining shrimp into small chunks and add to the mixture to retain some texture.

Step 2

Transfer the shrimp mixture to a bowl and gently combine with panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, red bell pepper, finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil in a bowl. Toss gently and set aside.

Step 5

Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Grill the shrimp patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, if desired.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled shrimp patty on the bottom bun, topping it with a generous spoonful of mango salsa, and adding optional toppings like butter lettuce and sliced avocado. Cover with the top bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a fresh salad.
