Method

Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal parts and form each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Shrimp Topping

  1. 3

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque. Stir in lemon juice and remove from heat.

  1. 5

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, followed by a slice of tomato, and then the cooked patty with melted cheese. Top each burger with sautéed shrimp and finish with ketchup. Close the burgers with the top half of the buns.
