Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Cheesecake Base
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream, and mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated.

Add Shrimp and Sausage
In a separate pan, sauté shrimp and alligator sausage until the shrimp are cooked through and the sausage is browned. Allow to cool slightly, then fold the mixture into the cheesecake batter.

Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about an hour.

Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely. Serve chilled, garnished with additional sautéed shrimp and sausage if desired.
