- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (5ml)
- 1½ teaspoons chipotle in adobo sauce, finely chopped (7.5ml)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.25ml)
- 1 pound raw shrimp (450g)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves (60ml)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt (3.75ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (2.5ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (2.5ml)
- vegetable oil for the pan
- about 8 thin slices vine-ripened tomato
- 1 small handful baby lettuces
- 4 burger buns, lightly toasted
Instructions
- Mash the avocado in a bowl, then combine it with the diced red onion, lime juice, chopped chipotle, and a pinch of salt.
- Use a food processor to chop the shrimp finely, then blend in the egg, cilantro, a bit of salt, cumin, and black pepper. Shape the mixture into burger patties.
- Warm up some vegetable oil in a pan and fry the patties until they achieve a golden-brown hue on both sides.
- Set a shrimp patty on each toasted bun, then layer on the guacamole, tomato slices, and baby lettuces.
Notes
- Finely dice the red onion to evenly distribute its flavor in the guacamole.
- Be cautious not to overcook the shrimp patties to prevent them from becoming dry.
- Adjust the chipotle in adobo sauce to your preferred level of spiciness.
