Instructions

  1. Salsa: Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

  2. Burgers: Pulse bread in a food processor until fine crumbs form; transfer to a bowl. Add shrimp, cilantro, chives, and garlic paste to food processor and pulse until shrimp are finely chopped and form a chunky paste (do not puree — make sure to leave some texture).

  3. Add shrimp mixture to bread­crumbs along with radish, celery, mayo, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. With moistened hands, gently shape 4 burgers, about 1 inch thick. Refrigerate burgers.

  4. Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-hot fire (or heat a stovetop grill pan over medium heat). Spray burgers on both sides with cooking spray. Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden and just cooked through in centers. Toast buns on grill 1 to 2 minutes. Put salad greens on bun bottoms and top with burgers. Spoon salsa over burgers and cover with bun tops. Serve with remaining salsa.

Why this Shrimp Burgers with Mango-Avocado Salsa works for PCOS

Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
