2. Using your hands, form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
3. Preheat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill or skillet to prevent sticking.
4. Cook the shrimp patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
5. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden.

7. Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
