- Once hamburger is cooked, there should be no reason to drain any fat since you're using a 93% - 7% meat blend. This, "no drain," hamburger is also important since if you were to drain it, you'd loose the majority of your spices and smaller ingredients through your strainer.

- After frying, plate up hamburger meat mixture in a serving bowl and set to the side.
- Chop all wrap filler vegetables, plate and chill.
- De-thaw shrimp in cool water.
- Paper towel dry shrimp.
- Add 2 tablespoons fish sauce to shrimp and add crushed Cilantro, powdered garlic and onion powder. Mix gently and well.
