SHRIMP BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high (about 375 degrees F). In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, add 2/3 of the shrimp.
• Add the garlic, paprika, mustard, salt, seafood seasoning, and cayenne. Pulse a few times to begin to incorporate. Add 1/2 of the green onion and 1/2 of the bell pepper. Puree until fairly smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Finely chop the remaining shrimp, bell pepper, and green onion (you want the shrimp to bind with the burgers but still be a little chunky so that the burgers have texture). Add to the bowl and stir until evenly combined.
• Shape mixture into 6 patties that are about ¾-inch thick and 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter. Place in the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes.
• Make sure your grill is very clean. Brush the outsides of the shrimp patties with oil. Place on the grill (clean it one more time for good measure-any debris can make the patties stick), close the lid, then cook on the first side without disturbing for 4 to 5 minutes, until the patties release easily. Flip and cook on the other side until the patties are cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes more.
• If desired, in the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns on the grill, cut side down, and lightly toast.
• Serve the shrimp burgers on the toasted buns, topped with Greek yogurt, mustard, lettuce, tomato, and avocado as desired. Enjoy!
