Tex-Mex Shrimp Burgers
These Tex-Mex Shrimp Burgers are a party with every bite. They have big chunks of juicy shrimp with plenty of complimentary pizazz from the fresh herbs and lime.
Ingredients
- 1 dozen large raw shrimp , peeled and deveined with tails removed
- 1/2 fresh lime , juiced
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
- 2 tablespoons packed cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped celery
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard

- Chop reserved shrimp in 1/2 inch pieces.
- Fold shrimp in along with breadcrumbs.
- Form into patties (should make about 6) and flatten.
- Brown on both sides on a griddle, fry pan or cast iron skillet with 1-2 tablespoons oil, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Or, grill, 4-5 minutes on first side, 2-3 minutes on second side, until browned and cooked through. Consider placing on a rack or foil atop the grill to prevent breaking apart.
