Shrimp Burgers with Pineapple-Avocado Salsa Recipe.
Need a break from beef in your burger? Tuna burgers are one option, but here’s another idea: enjoy all the nutritional advantages of shrimp in a new and interesting form with shrimp burgers. These tiny crustaceans are packed with selenium, iodine, magnesium, B vitamins, and other good stuff from the sea – and don’t forget to save the shells to make a joint-healing seafood stock that you can use in all kinds of soups (or just eat straight).
