Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 stalks Green onion (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 Hamburger buns
• 1 Avocado (sliced)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 cup Arugula or lettuce

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse half the shrimp until it forms a coarse paste. Roughly chop the other half of the shrimp into small chunks and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp paste, chopped shrimp, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped green onions, cilantro, lime zest, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round patties, about ½-inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the chili lime mayo. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and chili powder until smooth. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp patties to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Toast the hamburger buns in the same skillet or a toaster until lightly golden.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Place a handful of arugula or lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by a cooked shrimp patty, slices of avocado, and a generous dollop of chili lime mayo. Top with the other bun.

Step 8

Serve the shrimp burgers immediately, garnished with lime wedges if desired. Enjoy your coastal-inspired creation!
