Take drained shrimp mixture, add to food processor, and pulse until finely chopped. Pour into bowl, add plain breadcrumbs, 2 eggs, celery and pepper then mix until well combined. Take 1/8th of mixture and form into small patties and dust outside with flour. Tap off excess flour then coat with egg mixture and panko breadcrumbs. Heat oil in large skillet then place 4 burgers into pan and cook until outside is crispy, 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining burgers. Place each burger on a mini bun and top with salsa. To prepare salsa: Place all ingredients in bowl and let sit at least 30 minutes.
