Ingredients

• Shrimp Burgers:
• (Makes 5 shrimp burger patties)
• 12 oz. raw shrimp
• ½ medium yellow onion
• 2 celery ribs (sticks)
• 1 green onion stalk
• 1 small red bell pepper
• 3 lg. garlic cloves
• ¼ cup cilantro leaves, not packed
• Juice from ½ lemon
• Zest from ¼ lemon
• 1 egg
• 2 Tbsp. mayo
• ⅓ cup plain bread crumbs
• ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper (more or less depending on your spice tolerance)
• Salt
• 2 Tbsp. veggie oil for cooking
• Topping:
• Burger buns
• 3 tomato slices per 1 burger
• ½ Avocado From Mexico per 1 burger
• Mix in a little lemon juice, pinch of chili powder and dash of cumin with ½ avocado meat.

Directions

• Pulse half of shrimp (6 oz.) in a food processor until very finely chopped. Scrape it out into a mixing bowl.
• Add yellow onion, celery, garlic, bell pepper, green onion, and cilantro to the food processor, you may have to chop them into big chunks to fit better, and pulse a few times until diced. Scrape veggies into the same mixing bowl.
• Add remaining shrimp, lemon juice and lemon zest to the food processor and pulse a few times to chop. Scrape it out into the bowl.
• Add egg, mayo, bread crumbs, salt, and cayenne pepper to the mixing bowl. Mix everything well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• Preheat a large cooking pan over medium heat and add some veggie oil.
• Form burger patties that are about 4 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick. You will end up with 4-5 patties.
• Cook shrimp burger patties for 7-10 minutes on each side, until all done and firm to the touch.
• Meanwhile, smash the avocado in a small bowl with a fork. Add little bit of lemon juice, pinch of chili powder and a dash of cumin. Mix well. (Increase amount of avocado and spices in accordance to however many burgers you are preparing.)
• Build cooked shrimp burgers with some tomatoes on the bottom and a hearty dollop of smashed avocado on top.
• *Shrimp burger patties can be stored in the refrigerator, in an air-tight container. You can easily reheat them for a couple of minutes in a pre-heated cooking pan over medium heat. I do not recommend using a microwave to reheat them.
