Instructions
Combine shrimp with green onion, mayonnaise, cornstarch, lime juice and zest, salt and chili sauce in the bowl of a food processor.
Combine mango and red pepper with coriander, lime juice, sugar and salt.
Divide shrimp mixture into 4 equal portions and use your hands to form 1/2-in.-thick patties about 3 to 4 in. in diameter.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, and adding remaining oil as needed, fry burgers 2 min per side or until golden on the outside with a soft pink centre. Serve on toasted buns with spicy mayonnaise, lettuce and salsa.
Tip
The shrimp mixture will be soft and wet; it’s perfect for cooking in a pan or griddle, but it’s not ideal for a barbecue. Grinding shrimp up and making them into burgers is a great way to introduce skeptical kids to the flavour.
