Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ pound peeled deveined shrimp, tails off
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup bread crumbs
  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 4 cups chopped greens such as chard or kale
  • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • buns or bread optional for serving
  • lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Pulse ⅔ of the shrimp, the bread crumbs, the egg, and seasoned salt in a food processor to form a thick paste. Coarsely chop the rest of the shrimp. Combine the shrimp mixture with the shopped shrimp. If the mixture is very wet, sprinkle in a little bread crumb at a time to thicken the mixture to the consistency of thick porridge.
  • Form 2 patties with the shrimp mixture and place on a plate. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to help the burgers stay firm.
  • When ready to cook, heat a thin layer of oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and let them cook until crispy on each side, about 7 minutes per side.
  • For the greens, heat the butter and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. When the butter foams and the garlic is fragrant but not browned, add the greens and soy sauce. Toss for 3 minutes to wilt the greens, then serve over the shrimp burgers with lemon wedges.
  • Enjoy!
