Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 lb Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 pieces Brioche burger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, season the ground beef with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix gently until combined, then divide into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt. Remove patties from the grill and set aside to rest.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to use as a sauce.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Season them with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
Toast the brioche buns lightly on the grill or in the oven.
Assemble the burgers: Spread the lemon-parsley mayo on both halves of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice on the bottom bun, followed by a cheesy beef patty. Add a few garlic shrimp on top of the patty and close the burger with the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a fresh salad.
