Shrimp Burgers
Description
This recipe won't take much time. Shrimp burgers go well with a salad of shredded cabbage and mayonnaise. The shrimp patties turn out incredibly tender and juicy; you can serve them not only in burgers, but also as a standalone dish with a variety of side dishes. If you don't have breadcrumbs, you can replace them with panko or dry breadcrumbs, moistening them with about 1 tablespoon of the liquid from cooking the shrimp.
