Wedge lemon which you have zested to pass later at the table with cooked shrimp.

GRILLED SHRIMP BURGERS
These are probably the healthiest burgers I've ever made ... and surprisingly simple and tasty! My inspiration was the Shrimp Boulette Po' Boy Burger from the Burger Meister cookbook but I made numerous changes to suit hubby's taste. I will definitely make these again to help use up extra burger buns.

Steps:
- Chop shrimp finely using a food processor (I used my Pampered Chef food chopper) or grind with a meat grinder using a coarse grinding plate.
- Gently but thoroughly mix shrimp with remaining ingredients.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- NOTE: I eliminated the salt due to the use of celery salt.
- Gently form mixture into six to eight 3/4-inch-thick burgers.
- Cover the burgers and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until needed.
- Grill burgers 5 to 6 minutes on each side, basting with approximately 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce per burger while grilling.
- Serve with whatever you like to dress your shrimp with.
- We used a homemade tartar sauce but I would also consider cocktail sauce or barbecue sauce as well as lettuce and tomato.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell.
- Remove the shells and devein the shrimp. This will make them easier to eat and will also help to prevent them from curling up when they are cooked.
- Season the shrimp with your favorite herbs and spices. Some good options include garlic, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Form the shrimp into patties. Use about 1/4 pound of shrimp per patty.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat for about 4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become tough.
- Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings. Some good options include lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.
Conclusion:
Grilled shrimp burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun and festive dish for a party, grilled shrimp burgers are a great option.
