Preparation
Preheat BBQ to medium or the oven to 425 °F (210 °C).
In a food processor, finely chop one half of the peeled shrimp and place in a mixing bowl; coarsely chop rest of shrimp and mix with first batch.
Place all ingredients, except garnish and toppings, in a mixing bowl. Season to taste and combine.
Divide preparation into four to six parts and shape into patties.
Place patties on grill or on parchment-covered baking sheet in center of oven. Cook 12-15 minutes turning them over once.
While heating burger buns, mix mayo, capers, lemon juice and zest in a mixing bowl. Pepper to taste.
Spread mayo mix on burger buns; add patties, lettuce, dried tomatoes and serve.

You can also cook the burgers in a skillet over medium heat, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
