Instructions

  • In a food processor, add the shrimps and pulse to chop. Transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet, add the bell pepper, and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Add the bell pepper mixture to the bowl with the chopped shrimp. Add the remaining pattie ingredients and mix until well combined.
  • Form the mixture into 4 even-sized shrimp patties using your hands, then coat the patties with panko breadcrumbs.
  • Grease the air fryer pan with oil and place the shrimp patties inside, making sure not to overcrowd the basket. Cook the shrimp patties in the air fryer for 10 minutes, flipping them once to cook evenly on both sides.
  • While the patties are cooking, make the avocado and corn salsa by combining all the salsa ingredients together in a small bowl and stirring until well combined.
  • Serve the shrimp patties with the avocado, corn salsa, and a wedge of fresh lime.
