MEXICAN CHORIZO AND GARLIC SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• To prepare the chorizo patties: Mix all the ingredients together until evenly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Note: Can make this the day before.
• To prepare the garlic shrimp: After peeling, deveining and rinsing the shrimp, dry them really well on a clean towel or paper toweling. Mix evenly with the remaining shrimp ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 min to 1 hour.
• To prepare the paprika mayo: Mix all the ingredients together until even. Set aside.
• To make the burger: Divide the chorizo-mixture into 4 equal portions, then shape into patties slightly larger than the buns.
• Heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling hot, then add the butter until melted. To the pan add the chorizo patties (maximum 2 patties at a time). Leave the patties to pan-fry without moving, until a nicely browned crust has formed on the bottom. Turn the patties over, then add the shredded manchego cheese on top (2-3 tablespoons on each).
• Cover the skillet completely with a lid and keep cooking on medium-high heat for another 1-2 min (the steam will melt the cheese as well as cook the patties), just until the center of the patties is cooked through. Transfer the patties onto a plate and let rest.
• Keep the chorizo drippings in the skillet and cook the shrimp on high-heat, about 1 min on each side until just cooked through. Set aside.
• If you want to toast the buns, remove any food-solids inside the skillet with a bit of oil left, then toast the cut-sides of the buns until golden browned in the same skillet.
• Apply a generous layer of paprika mayonnaise on both sides of the buns, then put 2 thinly sliced tomatoes and a chorizo patty on top. Slice the shrimp lengthwise and place over the patty. Top with upper bun.

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO IN GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium straight-sided pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat and saute the chorizo and onions, breaking the chorizo up with a wooden spoon while cooking until it resembles ground beef. Add the adobo, paprika and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until the fat is rendered and the onions are tender and cooked into the chorizo, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the remaining oil and the garlic and lower the heat to medium-low. Let the flavors infuse over the low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the shrimp to the garlic oil, raise the heat slightly, and stir and turn to cook the shrimp evenly, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve as an appetizer on toothpicks with crusty, chewy bread.

MEXICAN SHRIMP BURGERS

Steps:

• For the Mexican shrimp burgers: Measure out 3/4 cup of the shrimp and set aside. Add the remaining shrimp to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Add the cilantro and eggs and pulse until the mixture is combined but not completely smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Roughly chop the reserved shrimp into small pieces, then add it to the mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, chipotle adobo sauce, lime juice, salt, pepper and garlic and mix to blend the ingredients. Use a 1/2-cup measure to scoop and shape the shrimp mixture into 4 burgers. They will be sticky. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• For the avocado aioli: Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic, avocado and some salt and pepper to a food processor and blend until smooth.
• Coat the bottom of a large saute pan with the oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once it's very hot, saute the shrimp burgers until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. They should be golden brown.
• Add about 1 tablespoon of the avocado aioli to each half of the toasted buns. Add a burger to each, followed by a couple of tomato slices and a piece of lettuce. Close the burgers and enjoy!
