Shrimp Burgers With Mango-Avocado Salsa
posted in Recipes on 6/23/2014

For a lighter, healthier take on the usual barbecue fare, try these shrimp burgers with a sweet, creamy fruit salsa.
INGREDIENTS:
Mango-Avocado Salsa:
1 small ripe mango, pitted, peeled, and diced
1 small firm-ripe Hass avocado, pitted, peeled, and diced
1/4 cup(s) red bell pepper
2 tablespoon(s) diced red onion
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon(s) black pepper
Burgers:
2 slice(s) white sandwich bread, torn into pieces
1 1/2 pound(s) shrimp, chilled, peeled, and deveined
2 tablespoon(s) coarsely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoon(s) snipped fresh chives
1 teaspoon(s) garlic paste, or half that amount pressed fresh garlic
1/4 cup(s) finely diced radish
1/4 cup(s) finely diced celery
2 tablespoon(s) low-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon(s) grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon(s) freshly ground black pepper
4 whole-wheat sesame hamburger buns
1 cup(s) mixed salad greens
DIRECTIONS:
Salsa: Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Burgers: Pulse bread in a food processor until fine crumbs form; transfer to a bowl. Add shrimp, cilantro, chives, and garlic paste to food processor and pulse until shrimp are finely chopped and form a chunky paste (do not puree — make sure to leave some texture).
Add shrimp mixture to breadcrumbs along with radish, celery, mayo, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. With moistened hands, gently shape 4 burgers, about 1 inch thick. Refrigerate burgers.
Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-hot fire (or heat a stovetop grill pan over medium heat). Spray burgers on both sides with cooking spray. Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden and just cooked through in centers. Toast buns on grill 1 to 2 minutes. Put salad greens on bun bottoms and top with burgers. Spoon salsa over burgers and cover with bun tops. Serve with remaining salsa.
