Homemade Shrimp Burger with Guacamole

This homemade shrimp burger brings together tender shrimp, fresh herbs, citrus zest, and warm spices to create a patty that is juicy, flavorful, and pleasantly textured. Instead of processing the shrimp into a paste, the mixture is kept slightly chunky so the patties remain light and succulent. Paired with a creamy lemon-mustard sauce and a bright, herb-filled guacamole, each bite offers richness, freshness, and a hint of heat. Toasted brioche buns add a soft, buttery contrast that makes these burgers feel as satisfying as they are vibrant. Perfect for an elevated weeknight meal or a fun weekend cook, these shrimp burgers come together quickly and stay true to their fresh seafood character.
