What You Need

1 1/3 lbs (600 g) raw shrimp, peeled
3 tbsp (45 ml) pesto
1 egg
1/2 cup (125 ml) breadcrumbs
3 to 4 oz (90 to 120 g) Canadian Provolone, grated or finely diced
Salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

4 to 6 lettuce leaves, washed and pat-dried

Spread mayo mix on burger buns; add patties, lettuce, dried tomatoes and serve.
