Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized avocado (200g)
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced (30ml)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (5ml)
- 1½ teaspoons chipotles in adobo sauce, finely chopped (7.5ml)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.25g)
- 1 pound raw shrimp (450g)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves (15g)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt (3.75g)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (1g)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander (1g)
- vegetable oil for the pan
- about 8 thin slices vine-ripened tomato
- 1 small handful baby lettuces
- 4 burger buns, lightly toasted
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado and combine it with diced red onion, lime juice, chopped chipotles, and a pinch of salt.
- Using a food processor, chop the shrimp finely. Incorporate the egg, cilantro leaves, a bit of salt, cumin, and coriander, and blend well. Shape the mixture into burger patties.
- Warm up some vegetable oil in a skillet and fry the patties until they achieve a golden hue on both sides.
- Assemble by placing a shrimp patty on each toasted bun, followed by a generous layer of the avocado mix, slices of tomato, and a handful of baby lettuces.
Notes
- Enhance the spice level by incorporating more chipotles in adobo sauce into the avocado mixture.
- Ensure the shrimp is finely chopped for better patty cohesion.
- To elevate the texture, remember to toast the burger buns before assembling.
