These cilantro lime shrimp burgers are light, fresh and packed with healthy protein.
I consider myself really lucky that I get to not only create food for the blog, but to also use it in my actual life whether it’s for myself or my personal chef clients. I am my most creative when I have a star ingredient to work with where I can work backwards and create a recipe that way.
Back in April, we spent a LOT of money on food. The reason was because as a one day a week employee at Whole Foods, I was privy to 40% off of all 365 brand items during team member appreciation week and I bought a lot of food.

During that shopping trip I 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.
These cilantro lime shrimp burgers were totally worth it. They have a simple fresh flavor and are binded with my favorite low carb bread crumbs from Bacon’s Heir. Regular bread crumbs will also do the trick as well as no breadcrumbs at all! I actually might buy shrimp more often just to make these.

How many does this make?
Hi! I was able to get about 8 small ones or 6 medium ones. I prefered them bigger as they had more moisture in them.
