Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp 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 Ingredients

  • Burger buns (your choice)
  • Lettuce, for serving
  • Tomato slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a food processor, add the raw shrimp and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer the shrimp to a mixing bowl.
  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.
  3. Form Patties: Divide the shrimp mixture into equal portions and shape each into a burger patty about 1 inch thick.
  4. Heat the Grill or Pan: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the Patties: Place the shrimp patties on the hot grill or skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until the shrimp is fully cooked and the patties are lightly browned.
  6. Make the Guacamole: While the patties cook, mash the avocado in a bowl and stir in the finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), salt, and lime juice.
  7. Assemble the Burgers: Toast the burger buns if desired. Place a cooked shrimp patty on each bun and top generously with the prepared guacamole.
  8. Add Additional Toppings: Garnish each burger with fresh lettuce and tomato slices, or any other preferred toppings.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the shrimp burgers immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • To ensure patties hold together, do not over-process the shrimp; it should remain slightly coarse.
  • If breadcrumbs are not available, crushed crackers or oats can be substituted.
  • Adjust jalapeño amount to control heat level in the guacamole.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and buns.
  • These shrimp burgers can be cooked on a grill, stovetop skillet, or broiled in the oven.
  • Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
