Cajun Pork Burgers with Shrimp and Spicy Aioli
The Cajun pork burgers topped with shrimp and then drenched in a Cajun aioli combine ground pork, chorizo, with a Cajun seasoned horseradish mayonnaise for a perfect surf and turf burger recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 10 ounces pork or beef chorizo
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 pound peeled and no-tail shrimp
- 2 lemons
- 1 envelope Italian dressing seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- cajun seasoning
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 6 slices pepper jack cheese
- 6 brioche buns
- 1 bottle horseradish creamy sauce
Instructions
- In a large ziplock bag, combine shrimp, juice from one lemon, Italian dressing seasoning, paprika, cayenne, garlic, and Tabasco sauce. Seal the bag and shake to coat the shrimp. Set aside.
- Mix together the ground pork, chorizo, and parmesan cheese. Form into six patties.
- Cook patties on 350-degree grill. Season both sides with cajun seasoning before placing on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on one side and then flip.
- Place the shrimp in a grill pan lined with aluminum with the marinade. Place the butter cut into multiple pats on the shrimp. Use the remaining lemon for slices on top of the shrimp.
- Put on the grill once the burgers have been flipped. Cook until all the shrimp are fully pinked and curled tight.
- Place cheese on the burgers right before removing from the grill to start the melting.
- While the burgers are grilling, combine 1/2 cup of the horseradish cream sauce with 1 teaspoon of the cajun seasoning.
- When the burgers and shrimp are cooked, build your burger by placing a burger on the bottom of the bun and three to four shrimp on top of the burger. Drench in the Cajun sauce.
- Garnish with your favorite burger toppings.
