Cajun Pork and Shrimp Burgers
Pork rules in the south, that's for certain.
Part of that comes from the fact that back in the day, just about everybody raised their own hogs, and believe you me, every part of that pig was utilized in some form.
These days we pretty much get our pork from the grocery store like most the rest of y'all, but pork still rules down in this part of The South.
The combination of some form of pork with shrimp is not at all unusual in this part of The South either, because, of course, especially down here on the Gulf Coast, we love our shrimp too!
Chorizo is especially good in this burger, providing that nice extra spicy kick.
Make sure though that you're using the Mexican chorizo and not the Spanish or Portugese chorizo.
Mexican chorizo sausage is a raw sausage that is stuffed into a casing.
Spanish chorizo and Portugese chorizo are cured sausages - more like the smoked sausages we are all familiar with.
For these burgers you'll want the Mexican variety.
