shrimp burger recipe with sweet potatoes

 I love a good homemade burger, and this shrimp burger recipeis at the top of my list. Not only is a much healthier choice, but is 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 potatoes fries are much better, and do not forget a nutritious rich side salad. Nevertheless, try different sides with homemade burger – 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 flavour and consistency. Therefore my recommendation is to use a soft cream bun, with or without sesame seeds.

    I love smoked paprika so these shrimp burgers are extra special. A very nice twist on the usual burger
