Keto Chunky Shrimp Burgers

Looking for scrumptious Keto 4th July recipes to celebrate with your loved ones? Look no further than these Keto chunky shrimp burgers! Packed with protein and healthy fats, these Keto-friendly shrimp burger patties feature succulent chunks of shrimp coated in cilantro and lime juice for a light and fresh flavor. They take just under 30 minutes to make, making them perfect for a simple yet delicious weeknight dinner.

What to serve with these Keto shrimp burgers?

These Keto chunky shrimp burger patties are so versatile and can be served in a number of ways. Just like any regular burger, these pair perfectly with zucchini fries or eggplant fries. The simplest way to serve these shrimp burger patties is between Keto burger buns or lettuce leaves, as we did in this recipe. You can also serve them on top of a warm or cold salad. Finally, they can also be topped with a generous scoop of your Keto coleslaw of choice.

Can you make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this recipe ahead of time. Prepare the burger patties according to the recipe instructions and allow them to cool down completely. To store, simply place the cooked patties in an airtight container. Then, transfer the container to the fridge and store for up to 2 days. Alternatively, to freeze, wrap each burger patty with plastic wrap and place them in a zip lock bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, allow the frozen patties to thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat them on a skillet over medium heat until well heated through.

Are there any variations to this recipe?

Yes. To vary this recipe, try different flavor options. A few delicious flavor combinations that pair well with shrimp include Cajun spice, Asian flavors such as freshly grated ginger and some Keto-friendly soy sauce, and Traditional Old Bay spice mix. If you fancy a sauce to pair with your burger, a few options include Keto tartar sauce, Keto bang bang sauce, or Low-carb garlic-chili sauce.

    All went well until I started frying up the burgers. Simply put, they fell apart. Don’t know why. So about halfway through I decided I was making shrimp tacos instead. Pulled out some low carb mission tortillas…disaster averted. Tasted great. Next time I’ll just make it that way. Put some coleslaw inside the shells with some lime crema sauce and guac on top of the shrimp mix. My husband had seconds.

      since I am not a fan of cilantro, I know parsley is an option but I would like to know what is Keto "friendly" soy sauce and where can I find it?

        Bragg Gluten-free Liquid Amino protein. Or there are Coconut Amino Proteins. Health food stores have it, Amazon, Walmart, etc.
