I love a good burger! Even Berlin has become better for it’s burgers this past year. We are no longer relying on The Bird for our burger fix. A favourite of mine is Tommi’s serving up delicious cheese burgers and I love the bun bao burgers at Royals and Rice.
With this weekend set to be a hot and sunny one I am going to make one of my favourites – a shrimp burger. This is so light and fresh and easy to make. Stick it on the BBQ or pop it under the grill! I serve this with a fresh tartare sauce.
