CAJUN PORK AND SHRIMP BURGERS

Category: Burgers

1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup finely minced celery
1/4 cup finely minced bell pepper
1/8 cup finely minced green onion
1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lb raw Mexican Chorizo sausage, Italian sausage, Bratwurst, or other raw ground pork
1/2 tbsp Zatarain's Big & Zesty Original, Garlic & Herb Creole seasoning, or your favorite Cajun/Creole seasoning, or to taste
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
Condiments as desired

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the celery, bell pepper and green onion until soft, about 3 minutes. Set aside to let cool.

Meanwhile, clean and devein shrimp, rinse, pat dry, and set aside to drain. Remove casing from sausage and crumble into a large bowl; set aside. Grind the shrimp in a food processor, or chop with a knife to desired consistency. Add the shrimp to the sausage; add the Creole and Old Bay seasonings. Mix well and shape into 4 or 6 equal sized patties.

Preheat grill on high for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low and cook burgers over direct heat for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of about 165 degrees. Serve on toasted buns and dress with desired condiments.
