The Caribbean Jerk Shrimp Burger delivers island heat and tropical vibes in every bite. This unique seafood burger features a chunky shrimp patty seasoned with authentic jerk spices, delivering that signature blend of fiery Scotch bonnet peppers, warm allspice, and aromatic thyme that defines Jamaican cuisine.

What sets this burger apart is the shrimp itself—coarsely chopped and bound just enough to hold together, creating a texture that's somewhere between a crab cake and a traditional burger patty. The jerk seasoning penetrates every bite with complex heat that builds gradually, while cooling mango slaw provides sweet relief and tropical contrast. A drizzle of lime crema ties everything together with bright, tangy richness.

This burger is perfect for seafood lovers seeking adventure, summer cookouts, or whenever you want to escape to the Caribbean without leaving your kitchen. Light yet satisfying, it's a refreshing alternative to beef that still packs serious flavor punch.
