shrimp burger recipe with sweet potatoes

 I love a good homemade burger and this shrimp burger recipe at the top of my list. Not only is it a much healthier choice, but it is also super tasty and simple to make. You will enjoy a handmade burger in under 15 minutes!

What can I serve with a Shrimp burger?

Of course, regular fries are fine, but I find that sweet potato fries are much better, and do not forget a nutritious rich side salad. Nevertheless, try different sides with homemade burgers; we like this burger with sweet potato fries. Alternatively, when going for a low-calorie option, you could opt out for sauteed spinach or sweet and tangy zucchini!

What bun should I use?

This shrimp burger recipe has a delicate flavor and consistency. Therefore, my recommendation is to use a soft cream bun, with or without sesame seeds.
