Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
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).
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
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.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a fresh salad.
