I recently purchased a 2-pound bag of uncooked shrimp and threw it in the freezer. Normally when I buy shrimp, it’s cleaned and de-veined, so I really didn’t want to deal with it for a while.

I also had no idea what I wanted to make, and the fact I had to do all that work with the shrimp made me realize whatever I made had to be worth it.

👉 Low Carb & Keto Bread Crumbs

These cilantro lime shrimp burgers were totally worth it. They have a simple, fresh flavor and are bound with my favorite low-carb “bread crumbs.”

While regular breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs will work in this recipe, I used a low-carb or keto form of binder.

Simply take a bag of plain pork rinds, add it to a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until a breadcrumb-like powder is formed. Use in place of regular breadcrumbs.
