Shrimp, Avocado,
Egg Breakfast Burger

A nutritious and elevated breakfast burger featuring succulent pan-seared shrimp, a creamy cheesy egg pancake, and fresh avocado slices on a toasted bun.

Ingredients

• 4 large shrimp
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 whole avocado
• 1 slice low-fat cheese
• 1 whole burger bun
• 1 leaf lettuce
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp cooking wine
• 1 pinch black pepper
• to taste salt
• to taste mayonnaise

Instructions

1. 1Clean and devein the shrimp

   

   Take the fresh prawns, remove the shells, and carefully devein them. Use a knife to make a shallow incision along the back to ensure the veins are completely removed for a clean taste.

   Tip: Keep a small bowl of water nearby to rinse the knife and your hands while working with the shrimp.
2. 2Flatten and marinate the shrimp

   

   Using the flat side of a knife, gently press down on the shrimp to flatten them slightly. Season with a splash of cooking wine and a sprinkle of black pepper, then mix well and allow them to marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

   Tip: Marinating helps neutralize any fishy odors and ensures the shrimp stay succulent when pan-fried.
3. 3Prepare the avocado

   

   Cut the avocado in half and twist to remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh from one half and slice it into thin, uniform pieces that will be easy to layer in the burger.

   Tip: Choose a ripe but firm avocado so the slices hold their shape well.
4. 4Cook the egg pancake

   

   Whisk an egg with a pinch of salt and pour it into a lightly oiled pan over the lowest heat. Gently pull the edges toward the center to create a soft, uniform egg pancake, ensuring it stays tender.

   Tip: Low heat is the secret to a perfectly silky, non-rubbery egg pancake for a burger.
5. 5Melt the cheese

   

   Once the egg pancake is nearly cooked, place a slice of low-fat cheese directly on top. Cover the pan with a lid for a minute to allow the trapped steam to melt the cheese perfectly over the egg.

   Tip: If the cheese is slow to melt, add a tiny drop of water to the edge of the pan before covering to create more steam.
6. 6Pan-fry the shrimp

   

   Add the marinated prawns to a hot pan. Season with a little salt and fry until they are opaque and cooked through. They should be firm and slightly browned on the surface.

   Tip: Do not overcook the shrimp; they cook very quickly and will become tough if left in the pan too long.
7. 7Assemble the burger

   

   Begin by spreading mayonnaise on the toasted bun. Layer the ingredients starting with lettuce, followed by the cheesy egg pancake, pan-fried prawns, avocado slices, and additional sauce. Carefully stack each component to build a structured and visually appealing burger.

   Tip: Add layers according to personal preference, but ensure the prawns are placed while still warm to help melt the cheese further and enhance flavors.
