Ingredients

1 lb Shrimp cleaned & deveined
1 Egg
3 Tbsp Panko Bread Crumbs
1 Handfull Cilantro
½ Lime zest and juice
2 Scallions chopped
½ Jalapeño optional
1 tsp Ginger minced or grated on rasp
1 tsp Garlic minced or grated on rasp

Instructions

Place parchment paper on a baking sheet
In a food processor and half of the shrimp and the balance of the ingredients
Pulse until well mixed
Add the rest of the shrimp and pulse 3 to 5 times to just bring together but leave larger pieces of shrimp
In the bowl of the food processor gently divide the mixture into four quadrants
Using your hands gently take out one of the quadrants and form a burger patty, place it on the parchment lined baking sheet
Repeat for the other three quadrants to create a total of four burgers
Place the burgers in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes, while you heat the grill
Remove from the freezer and gently place the burgers on the grill, close the lid and let cook for 10 to 12 minutes (you should start to see some of the pink shrimp throughout the green of the burger)
Gently flip the burger and cook the other side for 6 to 8 minutes, toast your bun if you like at this time
Place on a bun with Asian slaw or tomato and butter lettuce or a ginger garlic aioli and enjoy!

Notes

These burgers are really delicate so be very careful when forming and cooking. Putting them in the freezer for a little bit before cooking them will firm them up and help to keep them together. Generally they will be wetter than you would expect for a hamburger, but keeps them from getting dry and rubbery when cooked on the grill.
