Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.

In a large bowl, gently mix chicken, shrimp, 1/3 cup mango, Caribbean seasoning, 1 teaspoon orange zest, garlic, egg, and wine. Lightly mix in 1 cup of bread crumbs. Add more crumbs as needed until consistency can form patties. Form into 6 patties to fit buns, gently cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Place patties on rack, cover, and cook, turning once until cooked through about 5-6 minutes per side. During last 2 minutes of cooking, place rolls, cut side down, on outer edges of grill rack to toast lightly.

To assembler burgers, first drain off any excess liquid/dressing from slaw. Spread sauce over both cut sides of roll. Place a patty on each roll bottom, then top with slaw and tops of rolls.
