The Australians get it: Throwing a shrimp on the “barbie” brings out the best in this lean protein. Keep a few bags of frozen shrimp in your freezer so you can prep these tropical burgers in no time. Just defrost in a colander in the sink under cold water, make sure they’re cleaned up, and you’re good to go.
