Open the "Emission" settings in your particle system, set the "Rate" to 0, click the "+" at the right of "Burst" and set the burst time to "0.00" and "Particles" to "1".

This will emit one particle right at the start of the particle system.

Thank you sir, weird that Start Delay set to 0 doesn't do what is claims it does!

This doesn't work. It still takes 1 second to start the burst. At least on Unity 2017.1.5f1.

Enable Prewarm on your Shuriken Particle System. It will behaves as if it has been emitting particle before your game is started

Prewarm only works when you also have Looping set to true.
