Ingredients

Shrimp Burgers

  • 1 pound raw medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 1 xl egg
  • 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon garlic
  • 1/2 cup Panko or Gluten-Free Panko
  • 1/2 jalapeno, chopped and seeded
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup red pepper, chopped small
  • 3 tablespoon canola oil

Avocado Aioli

  • 1 avocado, halved, seeded, and peeled (save the pit!)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or plain greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon cayenne)
  • 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Avocado Aioli

  1. Scoop the avocado pulp into the bowl of a food processor. Add the sour cream, lime juice, garlic cloves, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth. Check and adjust seasoning.
  2. Place in a dish, add the pit (this helps prevent it from turning brown), cover, and chill for an hour.

Burgers

  1. Divide the shrimp in half. Coarsely chop one half and set aside. Put the remaining half in a food processor and grind to a coarse puree. Add egg, shallot, cilantro, jalapeno, and garlic to the processor. Process until smooth. Sprinkle mixture with breadcrumbs and process again. Transfer contents of the food processor to a large bowl. Add coarsely chopped shrimp and red pepper. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix well. Form burgers and chill for 1 hour (covered).
  2. Heat oil in a heavy skillet. When very hot, fry the shrimp burgers until golden, about 3 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Serve plain, in a lettuce wrap or on an Onion Brioche Bun.
