Dinner: Shrimp Burgers with Mango-Avocado Salsa

Recipe by Frank P. Melodia For a lighter, healthier take on the usual barbecue fare, try these shrimp burgers with a sweet, creamy fruit salsa.

Ingredients

1 small ripe mango
1 small firm-ripe Hass avocado
1/4 c. red bell pepper
2 tbsp. diced red onion
1 1/2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tbsp. Chopped cilantro
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. Black pepper

Instructions

Salsa: Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Burgers: Pulse bread in a food processor until fine crumbs form; transfer to a bowl. Add shrimp, cilantro, chives, and garlic paste to food processor and pulse until shrimp are finely chopped and form a chunky paste (do not puree — make sure to leave some texture).
Add shrimp mixture to bread­crumbs along with radish, celery, mayo, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. With moistened hands, gently shape 4 burgers, about 1 inch thick. Refrigerate burgers.
Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-hot fire (or heat a stovetop grill pan over medium heat). Spray burgers on both sides with cooking spray. Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden and just cooked through in centers. Toast buns on grill 1 to 2 minutes. Put salad greens on bun bottoms and top with burgers. Spoon salsa over burgers and cover with bun tops. Serve with remaining salsa.
