Prepare the Beef Patties
In a large bowl, combine the Angus ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink while cooking.

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning and olive oil until evenly coated.

Cook the Shrimp
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
