Ingredients

Cajun Shrimp Burgers

• 1 lb raw shrimp shelled, deveined and patted dry
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion chopped
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• salt and pepper

Avocado Mayo

• 1 small avocado
• 1 lemon juiced
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Instructions

Cajun Shrimp Burgers

1. First, in about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, saute the shrimp until it starts turning pink. Carefully removed the shrimp from the pan with a slotted spoon and set them aside.
2. In the same pan, add the rest of the oil and add the onions, cook them for about a minute and then add the spices to the pan, and let the onion cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Add the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce to the onion. Then add the shrimp. Let the shrimp cook in the mixture for about 2 minutes. Then take it off the heat and set aside.

Avocado Mayo

1. To make the mayo, slice the avocado in half and take the peel off the one half, dice it up and put into a bowl with the sour cream, lemon juice, and mayonnaise.
2. Using a potato masher just mash it all together. Mix and mash it to blend together, or you could use a stick blender.

Assembly

1. Spread the avocado mayo on part on the bun, I choose the bottom half of the bun, but you can spread it on the top half.
2. Place some of the shrimp mixture on the bun
3. The other half of the avocado, remove the pit and slice it up. Then place the avocado slice on top of the shrimp.
4. Then place a sliced tomato on to the avocado
5. Top it off with the top bun, and Enjoy!
